creating character vector

Nice simple elegant solution .... care to have a crack at this one ...!! 

Thanks for help and answer!

Jim

In a parallel routine using foreach and doMPI have to put calculated values into a list of lists such as 

list(one=one,
     two=two,
     three=three)

It uses the same (large) list of variable names as in the previous question.  Is there a simpler way to accomplish this with a lapply statement?


I've tried several permutations but no luck!

Hi Jim

create  <-function(...) paste(substitute(list(...)))[-1]

create(a,b,c)

should work.

Is there a way to convince R to create a character vector without using the quotes?

This works

ex1 <-  c("first","second")

but when I try this it doesn't

ext <- as.character(c(first,second))

it complains. I have many variables to put into character vectors so dispensing with the quotes would be useful.

Thanks

Jim
