Assuming you attribute the name "dataset" to your data. A way to name a
column using colnames and which.
Code to change V1 column name:
colnames(dataset)[which(colnames(dataset) == "V1")] <- "Toto"
You are asking to R in the column's names of dataset which one is "V1"
(TRUE) and attributing to this column the new name "Toto".
You can also use the the number of column but even if it seems simpler
it is not recommended as you can get problem if the column order is changed.
Code to change 1st column name:
colnames(dataset)[1] <- "Toto"

Your question prompts more questions than answers. Not sure what "imported from
notepad" means (clipboard? delimited how?). Don't know what you obtained in R (what
does the str function tell you? What about dput(head(yourdata)))? You really need to tell
us what R code you executed and data you gave it for us to understand what happened.
Please read the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of this message. You
would probably also benefit from reading about how to make a reproducible
example to illustrate your question.

Hi ,
I just imported a large data set from notepad. I want to label the
columns
in R.
I used 'import Dataset' to bring in my data set
Now, I would like to label V1,V2,V3 etc??
Thanks
