dataFile = read.csv("filename.csv",header= TRUE); #suppose u want col 1, col 9 and col 15 col1 = 1; col9 = 9; col15 = 15; modifiedDataFile1 = dataFile[,c(col1, col9, col15)];
#if u want rows from 1-100 and then 1000-5000 modifiedDataFile2 = dataFile[c(1:100, 1000:5000), ]; #If u want to select rows and col simultaneously as specified above then modifiedDataFile = dataFile[c(1:100, 1000:5000), c(col1, col9, col15)]; Hope this will work.
