R help - Oct 2004 - rev matrix

Hello

I am looking for a function which performs the same thing as rev but on a
matrix rather then a vector, based on one column.
I'd be happy to read the man page if such a function exists.

Thanks,
Vera Lindsay

If I understand you, it is easy to do by indexing, but `based on >one< 
column' puzzles me and I take it you want each column reversed.

A <- matrix(1:20, 4, 5)
A[4:1, ]

or more generally

A[rev(seq(len=nrow(A))), ]

If that is not what you mean, please give us an example to look at.
