If you know the value of k then you could do the following:
goodNames <- paste("V",1:k,sep="")
ind <- which(colnames(df) %in% goodNames)
df[,ind]
(where df is your dataframe).
P.S. I won't be surprised if df[,goodNames] is all right too (have not
checked).
What about df[,grep("^V",names(df))] ? (Leave off the ``^'' if you want
any
column whose name contains ``V'' (r.t. begins with ``V'').
Unless I missed something in the original request, such that the only
column to remove is 'var', why not:
subset(df, select = -var)
?
See ?subset
