P.S.  The advantage of using formatC over pasting the digits (1:1000) 
directly is that when one uses leading zeroes, as in the formatC example 
shown, the resulting filenames will sort into proper order.

You can use paste() with something like

  formatC(number,digits=0,wid=3,flag="0")

(where number is your loop index) to generate the filenames.
