Hello All,
Suppose that x is a data.frame. I want to change the colname 'oldname'
to 'newname'. I have the following code. Could anybody let me know if
there is any better way to change a column name?
colnames(x)[grep('oldname', colnames(x))]='newname'
Tom
this isn't a whole lot different, but if x is a data.frame (and not a matrix), you could also try this: names(x)[which(names(x)=="oldname")]= "newname"
