Hi All,
I hadn't realized the 'a-1' will open such a can of worms!
Actually, the header elements will look something like 'ABCD-002-234-01D' (instead of 'a-1'). I get the files from somwhere else, so I cannot change how the input file is. Should I go ahead with the check.names=FALSE option?


Well, you could always let read.table change the - to . and go from there, since you'll know what happened. It really depends on your needs!
