Remove quotes to use result as dataset name

I've got a vector with a long list of dataset names. E.g

myvector<-c('ds1','ds2,'ds3')

I'd like to use the names ds1..ds3 to write a file, taking the file name from the vector. Like this:

write.csv(dataset[i],file=paste(myvector[i],'.csv',sep='')

with dataset being d1...ds3, but without quotes. How can I remove the quotes and refer to the real dataset, and not to the string?

Thanks in advance, p.

You can get the values with get or mget (for multiple objects)

 lst <- mget(myvector)
 lapply(seq_along(lst), function(i) write.csv(lst[[i]], 
            file=paste(myvector[i], '.csv', sep=''))
