Do you mean like this?
> f <- function(foo, bar) {
+ result <- list(bar)
+ names(result) <- foo
+ result
+ }
> (x <- f("hello", "world"))
$hello
[1] "world"
> names(x)
[1] "hello"

Hello,
I'm having troubles defining a list where names are variables (of type
character). Like this, which gives "foo" instead of "world" (the way I
meant it is that "world" is the value of the variable foo). Any hint?
> f <- function(foo, bar) { list(foo = bar) }

> names(x)
[1] "foo"
Thanks,
Giovanni
