I failed to make myself clear.
What I meant was "what happens NEXT? Once someone has got past the

Very interesting topic. "What I want to know is *WHY* people are doing this?"
Here goes my view - I've used many for loops, and each time I realize
how stupid that is... AFTER I learned how to avoid it. But it's
difficult to avoid them without knowing how to do it. (Monsieur de

see ?assign and ?get
i,e instead ob below have something like assign(paste("v", i,
sep=""), a[i:N])
and if you need to loop over calling them say get(paste("v", i, sep=""))
of course typing v1 will call the variable...

See the R-FAQ here:

Number 7.21.
However, as the FAQ also points out, you might be better served using
lists.
a <- list()
for (i in 1:100) {
a[[i]] <- some stuff
}

I am trying to define a large number of variables through a loop construct.
I have my loop variable i being cycled through 1:100 and I would like
the variables produced by this to be called

so, for example I'm going:
for(i in 1:100) {
