Hello all,
I have to learning R from beginning, since my group will get rid of SAS. So, my 
question may not be very clear for professional R user. I always dealing with 
column in data frame, not data vector. 
Many thanks to Greg's example. it is very helpful.
one more question, how can I know if the function is for column manipulations 
or for vector?
Thank you,
Kai

fwiw, i almost always use '[.]' in preference to '\\\\\\\\.', as it
seems to be more likely to get through the various levels of quoting in
different contexts.
