Hi Tom,
Your approach did not work,
> do.call("cbind", as.list(my.names)) [,1] [,2] [1,] "x" "x2"
but it helps me a lot to find the good one:
do.call("cbind", as.list(parse(text=my.names)))
Thanks,

I believe the syntax is
result <- do.call(cbind, as.list(my.names))
Haven't checked this on your example, though.
