alternative to subset(dataframe, select = - column) in R
Thank you!
```
new_out <- new[ , "ID" != names( new ) ]
new[names(new) != "ID"]
```
worked as wanted, `new[-match("ID"), names(new)]` gave the error:
`Error in match("ID") : argument "table" is missing, with no default`.
Cheers

Hello, this is a very simple question but... what is the vector alternative to `subset(dataframe, select = - column)`? I tried with: ```
x = new[-ID]
Error in `[.data.frame`(new, -ID) : object 'ID' not found
x = new[-"ID"]
Error in -"ID" : invalid argument to unary operator
x = new[[-"ID"]]
Error in -"ID" : invalid argument to unary operator
x = new[-["ID"]]
Error: unexpected '[' in "x = new[-[" ``` Thank you
