R help - Jun 2009 - Help on creating a sequence of vectors

I want to create a number of  vectors like :

vec1 <- rnorm(1)
vec2 <- rnorm(2)
vec3 <- rnorm(3)

and so on...........

Here I tried following :

for (i in 1:10) paste("vec", i, sep="") <- rnorm(i)

However obviously that is not working. Here vectors I need to be seperated
i.e I do not want to create a "list". How to modify above code?

Maybe try the assign() function. Something like:

for (i in 1:10)	assign ( paste ( "vec" , i , sep = "" ) ,
rnorm(i) )

Kind regards, Nikos

Consider the use of a 'list' so you don't clutter up the global
enviroment
with a lot of objects that you might forget about:
> vec <- lapply(1:10, rnorm)
> vec
