Hello,

Try

chars = c('A','B','C','D')
matrix1 = matrix(nrow = length(1:100), ncol = length(1:5)*length(chars))
k = 0
for(i in 1:length(1:5)){  # or more simply just for(i in 1:5)
  for(j in 1:length(chars)){
    k = k+1
    matrix1[,k] = k
  }
}
matrix1
tmp <- expand.grid(chars, 1:5, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
nms <- paste(tmp[[2]], tmp[[1]], sep = "-")
rm(tmp)
colnames(matrix1) <- nms

head(matrix1)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
