title: How to split a R data frame into vectors (unbind)
body: <p>I'm relatively new to R and have been trying to find a solution to this problem for a while. I am trying to take a data frame and essentially do the reverse of rbind, so that I can split an entire data frame (and hopefully preserve the original data frame) into separate vectors, and use the row.names as the source of the new variable names. </p>
  
  <p>So if I have a data.frame like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>      Col1  Col2 Col3
  Row1   A     B    C
  Row2   D     E    F
  Row3   G     H    I
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like the end result to be separate vectors: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Row1 = A B C
  Row2 = D E F
  Row3 = G H I
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I could subset specific rows out of the data.frame, but I want all of them separated. In terms of methodology could I use a for loop to move each row into a vector, but I wasn't exactly sure how to assign row names as variable names. </p>
