Hi R-users
I am having troubles accessing elements after the $ symbol. Reproducible example: >test <- data.frame (first=1:10, second=11:20, third=21:30) >test$first #this works fine but when I try >interest <- "first" >test$interest # does not seem to work Could you tell me why that happens and show how to do instead? Thanks so much Lorenzo [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
