I'm still getting the message (if this is what you were suggesting I try). The data set I'm using has many more columns other than these variables; could that be a problem? I didn't think it would affect it. >pattern <- "L[1-8][12]" > nms<-names(data)[grep(vars,names(data))] Warning message: In gr

I'm getting this error message: nms<-names(data)[grep(vars,names(data))] Warning message: In grep(vars, names(data)) : argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used Is there a way around this? On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 6:17 PM, Rui Barradas wrote: > Hello, > > I gu

Hello, Sorry, forgot about that. It's trickier to write code without a dataset to test it. Try pattern <- "L[1-8][12]" and after the grep print nms to see if it's right. Rui Barradas Em 20-07-2012 00:33, Lib Gray escreveu: I'm getting this error message: nms<-names(data)[grep(vars,names(

Hello, Try the following. The data is your example of Patient A through E, but from the output of dput(). dat <- structure(list(Patient = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 5L, 5L, 5L), .Label = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"), class = "factor"), Cycle = c(1L, 2

Hello, I didn't give enough information when I sent an query before, so I'm trying again with a more detailed explanation: In this data set, each patient has a different number of measured variables (they represent tumors, so some people had 2 tumors, some had 5, etc). The problem I have is that
