I am trying to rename the column names of a data frame called "data". It has 177 columns. I have used :
colnames(data) <- a where a is a vector with 177 character names. I don't get any error message, but the column names don't change because when I then type : colnames(data) I get the same set of names as before, so the assignment doesnt seem to have worked. Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received.
