Hi,
I haven't followed, but I think you want something like:
subsetData<- bigData[ , c("Colname1", "Colname2", grep("partialName",
colnames(bigData)))]

Hi Sarah,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. It is working for me.
subsetData<- bigData[,grep(partialName, colnames(bigData))]
But if i want to extract multiple columns along with the columns with
similar names, how do i that? Say the others column have similar values for
all the columns with similar partialnames. I tried the following
subsetData<- bigData[,grep("partialName", "Colname1", "Colname2",
colnames(bigData))]
It did not work.
Do you have any suggestion ?
Regards,
Pankaj Barah
