Hello,

If it's the title, i.e., the header of a table read in by read.csv maybe

names(fx1)

is better, since data.frames are special cases of lists. The end result is of course the same.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [R] How can I access the title of a table read via read.csv?

Hi,

    I have a table which I can read via read.csv:

fx1<-read.csv(file="A_FX_M.csv", header=TRUE)

     TIME   REER    NTD    JPY      GBP    HKD
1 198001 124.26 36.030 237.96 2.263980 4.8366
2 198002 126.59 36.030 244.05 2.290426 4.8765
3 198003 128.33 36.026 248.62 2.206045 4.9960
4 198004 127.85 36.063 251.67 2.215330 4.9760
5 198005 124.40 36.050 228.35 2.302026 4.8891

8 198008 128.87 35.966 224.45 2.369107 4.9360

.......................


   How  can I access the title of the table? For example, I would like
to access the character string "REER"; how can I do it?


   Thanks,


Miao

Look at ?colnames.
