## EXMAPLE 01
=============

# SAMPLE DATA
x = 1:3; y=LETTERS[1:3]

# EXAMPLE OF mapply;  SIMPLIFY=F  (returns list)
mapply(paste0, x, y, SIMPLIFY=F)

# EXAMPLE 1 OF mapply;  SIMPLIFY=T  (returns vector)
mapply(paste0, x, y, SIMPLIFY=T)

# EXAMPLE 2 OF mapply;  SIMPLIFY=T  (returns matrix)
mapply(c, x, y, SIMPLIFY=T)


  function(x, y) "[<-"(x, "SampleID", value = y) ,
       filelist, ID, SIMPLIFY = FALSE)




## EXMAPLE 02  (from stackoverflow)
=============

# SAMPLE DATA
df1 <- data.frame(x = 1:3, y=letters[1:3])
df2 <- data.frame(x = 4:6, y=letters[4:6])
filelist <- list(df1,df2)
ID <- c("1A","IB")

# USAGE
mapply(function(x, y) "[<-"(x, "SampleID", value = y) ,
       filelist, ID, SIMPLIFY = FALSE)

Description

mapply is a multivariate version of sapply. 
mapply applies FUN to the first elements of 
each ... argument, the second elements, the third elements, and so on. 
Arguments are recycled if necessary.
