R help - May 2005 - how to generate object name automatically?

Hi everybody,
I have a lable vector ,
raw.labs= paste("file1", 1:20, sep = "")
And i can i make the content of raw.labs to be a object name.
eg ,file1=123(use some function on raw.labs to generate the name file1)
Thanks!

What about assign?

assign(raw.labs[1],123)

maybe you're thinking about something like this

(raw.values = vector of values)

for(i in 1:length(raw.labs))
  assign(raw.labs[i],raw.values[i])


Not elegant but works

The obvious way is to use assign().  The possibly better way is to store the
objects in a list.
