accessing dimension names
dimnames(y)[[paste('x', idx, sep="")]]

I have a matrix y:
dimnames(y)
$x93
[1] "1" "2"
$x94
[1] "0" "1" "2"
.................. so on (there are other dimensions as well)
I need to access a particular dimension, but a random mechanism tells me
which dimension it would. So, sometimes I might need to access
dimnames(y)$x93, some other time it would be dimnames(y)$x94.. and so on.
Now let that random dimension be idx, then dimnames(y)$paste('x',idx,sep='')
doesn't work.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
