r - divide list into vectors -

i have list:

list <- list(a=1, b=1:3, c=4)

if unlist returns following:

> unlist(list)  b1 b2 b3  c   1  1  2  3  4

is there way pull list apart can get:

a <- 1 b <- 1:3 c <- 4

thanks

following rawr's advice, avoid naming objects "list", "dataframe", etc

a non-optimal solution using for-loop data list:

for (i in 1:length(data)) { assign (names(data)[i],data[[i]]) }

checking objects created:

> ls()  "a"    "b"    "c"    "data" "i"   > [1] 1 > b [1] 1 2 3 > c [1] 4
