Dear useRs, i had a matrix with 31 rows and 444 columns and i wanted to extract every 37th column of that matrix starting from 1. more precisely i wanted to select columns 1, 38,75, 112 and so on. then doing the same by starting from column number 2(2,39,76,113.......). i was advised to use >x[c(TRUE, rep(FALSE, 36)),] i works if it is start from first column but as i am very new to R i wanted to know what to do to make it work if i want to start column selection from column 2 and then from column 3 and so on. sorry for bothering you once again.. regards eliza
