[R] Create and Assign value into a variable from Another variable

[Greg Snow]

Others have mentioned assign and get, but generally when the answer to
a question is "assign" it means that you are asking the wrong question
(see fortune(236)).

This is actually FAQ 7.21, the most useful part of the answer in the
FAQ is the last few lines.

If you tell us more about what you are actually trying to accomplish
then we have a better chance of giving you useful advice that is less
likely to lead to future frustration.
