trunk columns name in a data.frame to convert in a shape-file
Many options here, but if you literally just want the first (up to) 8 characters: names(mydf) <- substr(names(mydf), 1, 8) On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 2:49 AM, gianni lavaredo

Dear Researchers, I have a data frame with several column with the name letters more of 8 characters. I wish to convert in a shape-file but there is a problem because the names of the columns are more the 8 letters limit. Is there a function to trunk the names is a data.frame? this is a easy example mydf <- data.frame(mydatainfield=c(1,2,3,4,5),mydatainlab=c(1,2,3,4,5),intensity=c(1,2,3,4,5)) thanks in advance Gianni ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]]
