[R] convert strings to object names

[Gudrun Jonasdottir]

Dear R-Help list,

I have a problem with convertions of strings. I want to use the function
"paste()" to create an object name and then use that character string to
call on that object. So, for example:

dat99 <- matrix(rbind(1,1,2),3,3)
no <- 99
dat <- paste("dat",no,sep="")
dat
[1] "dat99"

What should I do to get the output

dat
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    1    1
[2,]    1    1    1
[3,]    2    2    2

Cheers,
Gudrun
