What I had forgotten to mention is that you also need to replace the
initial assignment

with the following:
string = character()
(NULL and c(), as mentioned by Rui, are also valid options here.)
If you don't do that, the empty string remains an element in the
resulting vector c('', 'xxx1', 'xxx2'), which is not the desired
result. It's awkward to build data structures in an iterative manner,
which is why solutions like Rui's paste0("xxx", 1:2) are considered
more idiomatic.
