Hi Jim,
Thanks,

That´s right. But the problem is that it
introduces unnecessary quotes, perhaps due to the format of first
column data in this case :

x<-cbind(c("row:1", "row:2", "row:3"), c("4889", "9987", "494"))
x1<-as.list(x[,2])
names(x1)<-x[,1]
> x1
$`row:1`
[1] "4889"

$`row:2`
[1] "9987"

$`row:3`
[1] "494"

How can I avoid unnecessary ` `quotes around the names ?
