Won't be much shorter, but in loops use
seq_alonmg(Shadowlist) rather than c(1:length(Shadowlist))
In the latter, the c() is useless and 1:length(.) may become 1:0 for a
length 0 object.
Actually I'd try:
sa <- seq_along(Shadowlist)
filenames <- paste('/home/apa/maps/', model, sa, '.mat',
sep="")
names(Shadowlist) <- paste(model, '_shadow', sa,
sep="")
for(i in sa)
do.call(writeMat, c(con = filenames[i], Shadowlist[i]))
