R help - Jul 2005 - how to split several objects' names

Hello,

I have a string like "O1 O2 O3", O1, O2 and O3 are the names of three
objects. How to split it into a vector or three new objects, and
obtain their content? I try to use strsplit to do that, but seems it
doesn't work like that.

And what is "<<-" for?   the same as "<-"?

Thank you,
Shengzhe

Please provide an example of what you tried or a complete example (see 
posting guide in signature for tips). I get:

 > strsplit("O1 O2 O3", " ")
[[1]]
[1] "O1" "O2" "O3"

And if O1, O2, and O3 are objects then use ?get, as in:

O1 <- rnorm(10)
O2 <- rnorm(10)
O3 <- rnorm(10)
O <- strsplit("O1 O2 O3", " ")[[1]]
lapply(O, get)
