I didn't noticed that fact. I've already found a way to do that
 
x <- 1:40
colnames(df.treino) <- paste("Ncp",x,sep=".")
 
and this generates names that I can relate with the variables. Thanks anyway
 
The problem is that I use rpart in a loop and the class labels are in the last column. 
For the above example I would "type"
 
rpart(Ncp.40~.,data=df.treino)
 
But in the next step of the loop I can have only 35 variables and the class labels 
would be at the Ncp.36. So I have to refresh the formula in rpart... and that is my 
problem

My problem is that rpart needs a formula as argument and for that the variables need 
to have names and this doesn't happen in my case. Every iteration in the loop has a 
different dataset with several variables (ex. 38 or more) and so I can't type the 
names by hand every time. Is there any function that generates names for variables in 
a dataframe. If so, how can I use then the argument

        If your data is organised in a data.frame, (dummy) variable names are
        available by default:
        
        R> mydata <- data.frame(matrix(rnorm(25), ncol=5))
        R> mydata
                  X1          X2         X3         X4          X5
