Hello, Could someone tell me, how can I select from a dataframe only those columns whose names contain a certain text? For example, if the column names are "Bond1.Creditclass","Bond1.Price","Bond2.Creditclass","Bond2.Price", how do I select only the columns corresponding to Bond1? Thanks a lot, Mihai
You can do things like : > dataset[ , grepl( "^Bond1", names( dataset ) ) ] > dataset[ , substr( names( dataset ), 1, 5 ) == "Bond1" ] Romain -- Romain Francois Professional R Enthusiast +33(0) 6 28 91 30 30 http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr |- http://tr.im/KfKn : Rcpp 0.7.2 |- http://tr.im/JOlc : External pointers with Rcpp `- http://tr.im/JFqa : R Journal, Volume 1/2, December 2009 ______________________________________________ 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.
