Hi, I want to generate object names out of variables in a sort of variable substitution.
first i generate some vectors and an empty list: > vector.a<-c("a","b") > vector.b<-c("c","d") > vector.c<-c("e","f") > vectors<-c("vector.a", "vector.b", "vector.c") > vectors [1] "vector.a" "vector.b" "vector.c" > vectorlist<-list() What I would then like to do is to generate elements of the list by using variables, somehow like this (does not work): >for (i in vectors) { + list$i<-i + } To end up with a list like this: > list $vector.a [1] "a" "b" $vector.b [1] "c" "d" $vector.c [1] "e" "f" Any hint will be appreciated.
