Interesting but not suitable. It creates a name even if such a variable does 
not exist. I have 6000 variables. The numeric component of the variable name 
goes from 0 to about 10000000. The output from the for loop would be largely 
empty space. Thanks for teaching me the paste() which will come in use 
later. I saw a response that makes use of names() or colnames()
