Use a 'list' to capture the data within the loop:
> result <- vector('list', 20) # preallocate
> tab <- data.frame(x=1:20)
> for (i in 1:20) {
+
+ g<-sample(rep(LETTERS[1:2],each=10))
+ result[[i]] <-data.frame(tab,g)
+
+ }
> # you can now access the combinations like this:
> result[[1]]
x g
1 1 B
2 2 A
3 3 B
4 4 B
5 5 B
6 6 B
7 7 A
8 8 B
9 9 A
10 10 B
11 11 A
12 12 B
13 13 B
14 14 A
15 15 A
16 16 A
17 17 A
18 18 B
19 19 A
20 20 A
> result[[5]]
x g
