Hi Jason,
data[] is a data frame, remember--you need to specify rows AND columns. So,
data[,c(2,12,17)] is what you should be doing in the first place, and
data[,842:2411] in the second place.
Not sure if the help you needed was using the comma, or the : syntax, or if
you're trying to read only certain columns during the read.csv process
(which I don't think that's possible).

Hello,
I realize that using: x[x > 3 & x < 5] I can fetch all elements between 3
and 5. However I read in from a CSV file, and I would like to fetch all
columns from within a range ( 842-2411). In teh past, I have done this to
fetch just select few columns:
data <- read.csv(filein, header=TRUE, nrows=320, skip=nskip)
data_filter <- data[c(2,12,17)]
write.table(data_filter, fileout, append = TRUE,
sep= ",", row.names= FALSE, col.names = FALSE)
nskip <- nskip+320
This time, however, instead of grabbing columns 2, 12, 17, I woudl like all
columns in the range of 842-2411. I can't seem to do this correctly. Could
somebody please provide some insight? Thanks in advance.
