How do I generate multiple (similar) objects within R?
'assign'
for (i in 1:10) assign(paste('vect', i, sep=''), NULL)
or use a 'list'

Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows how to generate a list of objects, e.g. ten vectors
with names: vect1, vect2, ... , vect10.
My own idea was to use something like:
for (i in 1:10)
print(paste("vect", i,"<-NULL",sep=""))
but the result is:
"vect1<-NULL"
...
"vect10<-NULL"
and not
vect1<-NULL
...
vect10<-NULL
as I would like. Does anyone know?
