Hi all, I have a very simple problem that I cannot seem to find the answer to. Consider the following toy dataset:
x <- read.table(textConnection("V1 apples bananas cherries indv.1 7 8 4 3 indv.2 7 7 4 9"), header = TRUE) How would I change the column name of ONLY the first column, not the others? Surely I should not have to re-specify the names of ALL the columns -- e.g., colnames(x) <- c("pears", "apples", "bananas", "cherries") -- if only the first column name will change. Thanks very much, Josh [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
