Hi Antje,
What you seem to be doing is pasting the lines into the R window. The
second line looks like the input line that the first line is expecting,
and if you remove the empty line, you will see that pos_name has been
assigned the text of the second line.
If you put these lines into a text file and then use "source" to read
it, it works as I think you expect.
