R help - Apr 2008 - Loop for in R to generate several variables

Hi everybody,
I have to create several variables of this form:

Yind = L0 + L1*X1 + L2*X2 + L3*X3 + K*Cind + n

where ind varires in {1,...,10}

I thought to this loop for but it does not work:

for (ind in 1:10) {

 Yind = L0 + L1*X1 + L2*X2 + L3*X3 + K*Cind + n


	}

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

look up ?assign and ?get, i.e:
for (ind in 1:10) {
assign(paste("Y",ind,sep=""),L0 + L1*X1 + L2*X2 + L3*X3 +
get(paste("C",ind,sep=""))+ n)
 }
