Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't work...

Here is what I get:
 > ssfamean <- aggregate(ssfa[[10:24]],ssfa[c("SPECSHOR", "BONE", 
"TO_POS", "FACETTE", "SHEARFAC", "ENA_BA")],mean)
Error in .subset2(x, i, exact = exact) :
  recursive indexing failed at level 2

I think I've tried everything that came to my mind: ssfa[[10:24]], 
ssfa[[10]]:ssfa[[24]] and with only one pair of bracket (it's the 
beginner's method!)

Also col_index <- match("Asfc", ssfa) doesn't really work since 
col_index is composed of 1227 NAs...

Any other idea?
Ivan
