200 columns will take far more than 250 characters. The help says 'width': controls the number of characters on a line. You may want to change this if you re-size the window that R is running in. Valid values are 10...10000 with default normally 80. I would use the spreadsheet view of edit(mydf) in preference. > btw, R is very useful system, my sincere thanks goes to R developers! > > > > -Lauri > > > 2007/2/8, Prof Brian Ripley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >> ?options, look for 'width'. >> >> I don't know what OS this in: the Windows Rgui has an option to set the >> width to the width of the console, but you can override it. >> >> On Thu, 8 Feb 2007, Lauri Nikkinen wrote: >> >>> Hi R-users, >>> >>> >>> >>> A newbie question: assume that I have for example 30 columns in my >>> data.frame named DF.
