Many thanks to Peter Alspach, Jim Porzak and Murray Pung for the help. Peter and Jim, head? and tail? was just what I needed to list a few observations. Peter, thanks for pointing out str? to me. I totally agree with you on its usefulness.
Murray thanks for file > save workspace (and Peters save.image) addresses the third of my concerns One last question related to head and tails, this works best if you have a few variables (columns). Given more, how can I use the information on the variable names given after str to list the first few few observations for a set of variable. To make it clear. Say I load a dataset with n variables named v1 to vn. I use str(mydata) and I get a list of variable names.. str(x) v1 ...... . ...... . ...... . ...... . ...... Vn ...... How do i list the first n observations of say v5 to v9 Many thanks Ronnie ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
