Use the get() function:
> dat99 <- matrix(c(1,1,2),3,3)
> no <- 99
> dat.name <- paste("dat",no,sep="")
> get(dat.name)
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 1 1
[2,] 1 1 1
[3,] 2 2 2

Dear R-Help list,
I have a problem with convertions of strings. I want to use the function "paste()" to create an object name and then use that character string to call on that object. So, for example:
dat99 <- matrix(rbind(1,1,2),3,3) no <- 99 dat <- paste("dat",no,sep="") dat [1] "dat99"
What should I do to get the output
dat [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 1 1 [2,] 1 1 1 [3,] 2 2 2
Cheers, Gudrun
