Wow! I wasn't expecting such quick and helpful responses. I will see
which of these suggestions works best for what I am doing. Thanks very
much to all of you.

It is certainly possible to create x2, x4, etc. using something like
assign( sprintf("x%d",i), ...value... ).
But are you sure you need separate *variables* x2, x4, etc.? Why not
create a list of vectors addressible as x[2] etc.?
You can do that with x <- list() (to define the data type of x as

I am new to R. I would like to automate the creation of a number of
vectors but can't seem to get the string formatting to work.
Here's what I would like to be able to do:
Suppose we have a vector:
x <- c(2,4,5)
I would like to be able to create a set of vectors whose names are
associated with t
