R help - Apr 2005 - accessing header information in a table

Dear list, I have read an excel table into R using read.table() and headers=T.
The table is 7 columns of figures. Is there any way to gain access to the header
information? Say the table headers are Mon, Tue etc I can get to the data with
myTable$Tue, but how do I get the headers themselves.

TIA

Look at "?names()", "?colnames()", e.g. check

names(myTable)

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
