How about to insert a variable a2 inbetween the first and second columns
of dat:

 dat2 <- cbind(dat[,1], a2=a2, dat[,2:3])

Where a2 is the new variable. This mangles the variable name for column
1, unfortunately. Surely someone else will offer a better solution.

Simon.

Just lose the commas:

5    NA            NA      NA 14.3   56     5   5

(Otherwise the infamous drop-to-vector effect will bite you and you need drop=FALSE, but this does not apply to list-like indexing. For matrices you do need drop=FALSE.)
