Micheal,
Try this, presuming that each vector is the same length:
# Create three vectors
txt.est1 <- letters
txt.est2 <- letters
txt.est3 <- letters
MAT <- t(sapply(paste('txt.est',1:3, sep = ''), get))
> MAT
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [,11] [,12]
txt.est1 "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l"
txt.est2 "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l"
txt.est3 "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l"
[,13] [,14] [,15] [,16] [,17] [,18] [,19] [,20] [,21] [,22]
txt.est1 "m" "n" "o" "p" "q" "r" "s" "t" "u" "v"
txt.est2 "m" "n" "o" "p" "q" "r" "s" "t" "u" "v"
txt.est3 "m" "n" "o" "p" "q" "r" "s" "t" "u" "v"
[,23] [,24] [,25] [,26]
txt.est1 "w" "x" "y" "z"
txt.est2 "w" "x" "y" "z"
txt.est3 "w" "x" "y" "z"
So in your case:
MAT <- t(sapply(paste('txt.est',1:24, sep = ''), get))
See ?get
You need to use get() in order to 'get' the actual vectors using the
vector names created in paste()
