Let's say I have, for some reason, a bunch of scalars (i.e. single-valued variables) and I want to merge them all into a single vector of values. Can someone recommend a better function, or simpler way, to do so than the following?

Suppose my scalars' names are foo1, foo2, foo3, foo1high, foo2high, foo3lo2, etc. Then I can do:



>ls(pat='foo')->thels


>mapply(function(x) eval(as.name(thels[x])),seq(1:length(thels)))->vecfoo


I was hoping for some way to avoid creating a function and an *apply call. Conceptually, eval(as.name(c(thels))) which of course doesn't work.

thanks
Carl
