Hi
I have a character vector with thousands of names which looks like this:
> V=c("Fred", "Mary", "SAM")
> V
[1] "Fred" "Mary" "SAM" 
> class(V)
[1] "character"

I would like to change it to a list:
> L=as.list(V)
> L
[[1]]
[1] "Fred"
[[2]]
[1] "Mary"
[[3]]
[1] "SAM"

but I need to name the components as name1, name2, name3, …
so it should look like this:
$name1
[1] "Fred"
$name2
[1] "Mary"
$name3
[1] "SAM"

Any help will be much appreciated
Joseph
