Hello, I have a very data matrix and I have a file which has the names that I need to subset. However I cannot manage to subset the main file. ANy idea?
bg <- read.table (file.choose(), header=T, row.names) bg Otu00022 Otu00029 Otu00039 Otu00042 Otu00101 Otu00105 Otu00125 Otu00131 Otu00137 Otu00155 Otu00158 Otu00172 Otu00181 Otu00185 Otu00190 Otu00209 Otu00218 Gi20Jun11 0.001217 0 0.001217 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.001217 0 0 0 0 0 0.001217 0 0.001217 Gi40Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 Gi425Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 Gi45Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.001513 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 Gi475Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 Gi50Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 ... #second file which has the names that I want to subset c_bg [,1] [1,] "Otu0128" [2,] "Otu0218" [3,] "Otu0034" [4,] "Otu0257" [5,] "Otu0212" [6,] "Otu0279" [7,] "Otu0318" [8,] "Otu0266" [9,] "Otu0056" ... #by using the c_bg name file, I would like to subset bg file g1<-subset(bg,colnames(bg) %in% (c_bg)) # this returns me the all the column names in bg file.
