If replace 1:5 to char2 = c('east','west','south','north','central'), how to put on column names with the original structure? Thanks again.
Have you tried to actually "replace 1:5 with char2", literally? You need to try things before you ask. That's the only way to learn! H.

For example, the matrix below, the column names should be: 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, 1-D, 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, 2-D, 3-A, etc. Thanks for your help. chars = c('A','B','C','D') matrix1 = matrix(nrow = length(1:100), ncol = length(1:5)*length(chars)) k = 0 for(i in seq(1:length(1:5))){ for(j in seq(1:length(chars))){ k = k+1 matrix1[,k] = c(1:100)[k] } } Also how could you possibly use such level of code obfuscation to perform such simple initialization of your matrix? My 1st advice would be that you slow down and take the time to compare seq(1:length(1:5)) with 1:length(1:5) with 1:5. It will be a great learning experience! As for initializing your matrix, what about doing ncol <- 5 * length(chars) matrix1 <- matrix(seq_len(ncol), nrow=100, ncol=ncol, byrow=TRUE) instead? Then set the colnames with: colnames(matrix1) <- paste(rep(1:5, length(chars)), chars, sep="-") Cheers, H.
