Assigning and removing objects in a loop: eval(parse(paste(

Question

I am looking to assign objects in a loop. I\'ve read that some form of eval(parse( is what I need to perform this, but I\'m running into errors listing in

Very bad idea; you should never use eval or parse in R, unless you perfectly know what you are doing.
Variables can be created using:

name<-"x"
assign(name,3) #Eqiv to x<-3

And removed by:

name<-"x"
rm(list=name)

But in your case, it can be done with simple named vector:

apply(x,3,mean)->v;names(v)<-letters[1:length(v)]
v
v["b"]
#Some operations on v
rm(v)
