Sorry for using "parameters" when I meant "objects." I also wasn't sufficiently clear about what I'm trying to do.
Your suggestion produces a single object, "parameters." What I want are 26 objects, a , b, c, ... whose values are df$values, which in my case are numeric. Thanks.

So here's one way, but it might not be what you're looking for. df <- data.frame(names=letters, values=1:26) parameters <- df$values names(parameters) <- df$names Duncan Murdoch ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
