How to name variables on the fly?

Question

Is it possible to create new variable names on the fly?

I\'d like to read data frames from a list into new variables with numbers at the end. Something like orca1, o

Answer 1

And this option?

list_name<-list()
for(i in 1:100){
    paste("orca",i,sep="")->list_name[[i]]
}

It works perfectly. In the example you put, first line is missing, and then gives you the error message.
