R help - Feb 2005 - rename object

Dear list,

I would like to rename an object as follows:

SimLUall <- matrix(c(0,1,0,0, 1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,0, 0,0,0,1),nrow=4, ncol=4)

j <- 2

SimLUall2 <- SimLUall and j

The value of j should be assigned automatically to SimLUall.

How can I achieve this?

Regards, 
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich

See:
? assign   and
? paste

with something like:
 > assign(paste("SimLUall",j,sep=""),SimLUall)

Note though that if you are planning some simulations, many guRus would say 
that you should use a list.

nsimul <- 100
simOut <- vector(mode="list",length=nsimul)
names(simOut) <- paste("simu",1:nsimul,sep="")

for (i in 1:nsimul){
         ###
         simOut[i]<- resultsofsimulation.i
         ###
}

Not absolutely sure what you are going to do, I guess either

  SimLUall2 <- SimLUall
  SimLUall <- j

or

  assign(paste("SimuLUall", j, sep=""), SimuLUall)
