Hi Kristi, The period is there for a reason. If you want to extract that column like this:
x<-data.frame(a=1:3,b=2:4,c=3:5) > names(x)[3]<-"dif of AB" > x a b dif of AB 1 1 2 3 2 2 3 4 3 3 4 5 > x$dif of AB Error: unexpected symbol in "x$dif of" > x$'dif of AB' [1] 3 4 5 you will have to quote the column name every time.
