Paste problem when looping variable assignments
The function you are looking for is ?assign. assign(paste(pds_gagehandles[[i]], "_pdswy", sep = ""), ...) For the reverse, in case you are interested, check out ?get. HTH, Jon

One thing I should have mentioned before is that "pds_gagehandles" is a character vector that contains the site names that I am interested in. ?An example of a site name is "saho". So with with the paste function, I am trying to get R to assign a variable with the site name followed by "_potwy". ?For example, I am trying to create a vector of events/year named "saho_potwy". Thanks again.
