Dear all,

I have a character string object:

> chara
[1]  "The name of first slot"

and a list object:

> class( try1)
[1] "list"


what I want to do is to use the chara as a slot's name of "try1".

Of  course I could do it like:

> try1$"The name of first slot"  <- matrix("", 3, 4)

to create a slot of 3x4 matrix with the name "The name of first slot"

However, I would like to know how could I utilize the object chara , and to
use the characters it contains as the name of the slot of try1.


I appreciate for any suggesion. Thanks.
