Convert Named Character Vector to data.frame

Question

I have a named character vector returned from xmlAttrs like this:

testVect <- structure(c(\"11.2.0.3.0\", \"12.89\", \"12.71\"), .Names = c(\"db_version\"         


        

Answer 1

It's as simple as data.frame(as.list(testVect)). Or if you want sensible data types for your columns, data.frame(lapply(testVect, type.convert), stringsAsFactors=FALSE).
