Peter, Try colnames(Table). Beware if you had used lower case t you would have masked the table() R function. Rgds, Matthew
Actually, a variable named table defined in the global environment won't mask a function of the same name in an attached package. John

Table <- read.table(FileName, header=TRUE, sep="\t"); Is there any way I can now retrieve the header. The header information is obviously there since I see it, along with the values of the first row of data, when I type Table[1, ] However, I cannot find an R function to retrieve the header information from "Table". When I try
help.search("header")
I get No help files found with alias or title matching `header' I would be grateful if someone could tell me how I might retrieve the header information.
