why does this simple example NOT work?

Martin Ivanov wrote

Hello,

I want to create and save objects in a loop, but this is precluded by the
following obstacle:
this part of the script fails to work:

assign(x=paste("a", 1, sep=""), value=1);
save(paste("a", 1, sep=""), file=paste(paste("a", 1, sep=""), ".RData",
sep=""))

Do you know any workaround? I am already out of ideas.

You haven't given the error message R provides.
Carefully read the documentation of save.

save(list=paste("a", 1, sep=""), file=paste(paste("a", 1, sep=""), ".RData",
sep=""))

This "works" for for me.
