Hi,
assign(paste(c("tmax.", 1950, 12), collapse="") ,1:10) does what you want.

Thanks for the reply. Indeed the paste function results in concatenation:

[1] "tmax.195012"
but I am looking for a way to subsequently get rid of the - " - in order to
use tmax.195012 as an object (e.g. to define a vector with that name). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Panos

1950 and 12. Obviously I don't wish to simply type it because the 3 name
components are changing in each iteration within a loop. Is there any way of
concatenating those 3 components (which are a mixture of numbers and letters)?
