I have a follow-up question:
I use assign() to store some value in my paste()-created object as
suggested:
for (i in 1:3) {
assign(paste("object", i, sep=""), c("a", "b", "c"))
}
Then I would like to change the names of the elements of that object
within the loop. Since it is all in a loop, I cannot give the name of
the object manually by doing something like: names(object1) <-
c("tooth", "bone", "species").
The only thing I can give to names() is paste("object", i, sep=""),
which doesn't work.
Any idea of how to do it?
Thanks in advance

Upon reading it yesterday, it appeared as it would have required some
serious testing and there was no data on which to do any work. You
were clearly not taking the time to isolate the problem and construct
a dataset. But who knows? When you say "What I want to do is. ... ,I
would like the name of the list to be created in the loop too", maybe
all you needed was to be pointed to was:
?assign
But if that were the case, then you lost most of your audience along
the way with a bunch of unneeded and obscure code.
