If I create a data.frame using session variables as follows: classResults<-data.frame(subjEnglish,gradeEnglish,subjFrench,gradeFrench,row.names=studentName) How can I remove the variables? I tried> rm(names(classResults))Error in rm(names(classResults)) : ... must contain names or character strings Also, how can I include the row.names variable. I tried> names(classResults)[1] "subjEnglish" "gradeEnglish" "subjFrench" "gradeFrench" but this does not include that name. Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
to remove an individual column: classResults$subjEnglish <- NULL to remove object: rm(classResults) to access student names: row.names(classResults) Sent from my iPad On Mar 18, 2012, at 5:31, Ajay Askoolum <aa2e72e at yahoo.co.uk> wrote:> If I create a data.frame using session variables as follows: > > classResults<-data.frame(subjEnglish,gradeEnglish,subjFrench,gradeFrench,row.names=studentName) > > > How can I remove the variables?
