If I understand the question correctly, both Jim Holtman's and John
Fox's answers are correct solutions. However, they are not optimal ones
(that was not the question -optimize my code, please-, but one can talk
about it a little bit).
- Jim proposes (I rework a little bit his code):
generateIn
Is this what you want? It returns a character vector with the values:
> generate.index<-function(n.item){
+ .return <- character() # initialize vector
+ for (i in 1:n.item)
+{
+for (j in ((i+1):n.item))
+{
+ # concatenate the results
+ .return <- c(.return,
paste("i",form
In order to use something like
temp<-generate.index(10)
your function should return something.
See ?return for more information, especially this
If the end of a function is reached without calling 'return', the
value of the last evaluated expression is returned.
The following code might

(its late in Germany). Sorry again..

Hi R users
I wrote a function that generates some character strings.
generate.index<-function(n.item){
for (i in 1:n.item)
{
for (j in ((i+1):n.item))
{
cat("i",formatC(i,digits=2,flag="0"),".",formatC(j,digits=2,flag="0"),"\n",sep="")
}
