[Solved] How to extract list element names in lapply to rename files

We need to use names instead of name in the OP’s function, use paste0 instead of paste if we don’t need a whitespace between the names and the new string, and return ‘theNamedFile’, then apply the function directly on the ‘mylist’

ReportOp<-function(x){
    theNamedFile <- paste0(names(x),"~\\Myfile.pdf")
    theNamedFile
 }
ReportOp(mylist)

If we apply it using lapply

lapply(mylist, ReportOp)

this will return the names of the elements (if is a named vector or the column names of data.frame) as a list
