> Is there a built-in and simple way to insert new columns in a dataframe?
You do this by collecting the columns in the new order you desire, and making a new frame. oldframe <- data.frame(matrix(0:14,ncol=3)) newcol <- data.frame(20:24) names(newcol) <- "newcol" newframe <- data.frame(c(oldframe[1],newcol, oldframe[2:3])) ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
