one option is the following:

varNames <- c("varA", "varB", "varC", "varD")

f <- function (i) {
    combn(length(varNames), i,
        function (x) paste(varNames[x], collapse = " + "))
}
lapply(seq_along(varNames), f)


However, in case you're interested in performing a linear regression with these subsets, then have also a look at package leaps (http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leaps).

Hello,

I'd like to generate automatically all the possible combinations of a set of 8 
variables (there are 535, too many to do it by hand). For example:

input: varA, varB, varC
output: varA+varB+varC
             varA+varB
             varA+varC
             varB+varC
             varA
             varB
             varC
Is there any function that produces this option?

Thank you
