Attributing values to matrix according to names

Dear R-helpers

Apologies for the basic question, but I just got stuck:

I would like to write values from a vector into array cells with the
same names

count[1:10]
10010 10014 10015 10017 10030 10080 10100 10230 10250 10280 
    0     0     0     0     0     1     1     0     2     0 

data[1:10,,1]
      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] 
10010   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10014   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10015   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10016   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10017   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10100   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10140   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10150   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10160   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10170   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   

length(count)
[1] 2842

dim(data)
[1] 4667   5   10

My operation should result in

data[1:10,,1]
      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] 
10010    0   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10014    0   NA   NA   NA   NA  
10015    0   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10016   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10017    0   NA   NA   NA   NA  
10100    1   NA   NA   NA   NA  
10140   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10150   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10160   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   
10170   NA   NA   NA   NA   NA   

data["10014",1,1]<-count["10014"]
works but

data["names(count)",1,1]<-count["names(count)"] 
You mean

  data[names(count),1,1] <- count[names(count)]

without the quotes ...

Fails with Error: indexing outside limits.

Many thanks for any help
