The first column isnt a column! It's the row names. If you want to make a column from the row names, try: > res=c(a=1,b=2,c=3) > resx=data.frame(res) > resx res a 1 b 2 c 3 > resx$names = rownames(resx) > resx res names a 1 a b 2 b c 3 c now it has row names as well as a column (called 'names') with them in.
