Dear XpeRts, I prepared a no qoute Character string by the following command
s<-noquote(paste (b1, collapse=",")) where, b1 is the vector of 24 intergers. > dput(b1) c(1L, 2L, 6L, 7L, 12L, 16L, 17L, 20L, 21L, 23L, 25L, 34L, 46L, 48L, 58L, 64L, 65L, 68L, 82L, 97L, 98L, 101L, 113L, 115L) > dput(s) structure("1,2,6,7,12,16,17,20,21,23,25,34,46,48,58,64,65,68,82,97,98,101,113,115", class = "noquote") I want to use "s" in the following command matb1<-res[,c(s))] The objective is to call those columns of matrix "res", whose numbers have been defined in "s". But when i plug "s" into "matb1" i get the following error Error: no 'dimnames' attribute for array How can i get rid of it?? thanks in advance Eliza [[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.
