Hi, May be this helps: Var1 <- LETTERS[1:3] Var2 <- 1:2 do.call(paste0,expand.grid(lapply(VarNames,get))) #[1] "A1" "B1" "C1" "A2" "B2" "C2" A.K.

What I want to do is somehow feed that information into the paste function, like: paste(Var1, Var2, Var3...) The problem is that I don't want to hard-code it because it's wrapped within a function. Is there a way to supply a string? e.g., k = 2 VarNames = paste0("Var", 1:k) paste(someFunction(VarNames), collapse="") Suppose Var1 = A, B, C and Var2 = 1, 2. The result should return A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. I've tried using eval, and get, but with no luck. Thanks in advance!
