Concatenate a mix of numbers and letters to create a vector name

Thanks for the reply. Indeed the paste function results in  concatenation:

  >  paste(c("tmax.", 1950, 12), collapse="")

[1] "tmax.195012"

but  I am looking for a way to subsequently get rid of the - " - in order to  use tmax.195012 as an object (e.g. to define a vector with that name).  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Panos

have a look at function paste(), i.e., ?paste


   I hope it helps.

   Best,

Obviously I don't wish to simply type it because  the 3 name components are changing in each iteration within a loop. Is  there any way of concatenating those 3 components (which are a mixture  of numbers and letters)?
