The audacity to do such a thing…

Within a loop could be:

for(i in 1:10){
     assign(paste0("listNum", i), list(i, someStringVector[i], i:(i+20), i*value))
}```

And you can also use get() in the same way to dynamically retrieve a variable. 

I've gone so far into coding debauchery that I've dynamically assigned variables from dynamically retrieved ones, and I've done so fairly frequently.

Legit thank you.

I’ve wondered on the right way to do this in R… Too many times.
