[R] Changing data frame column headings

[arun]

Hi,
I am not sure why ?rename() is not working.
 a <- list(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3)
     rename(a, c(b = "a", c = "b", a="c")) 
A.K.

Subject: [R] Changing data frame column headings

  I have a reshaped data frame with value column headings concatenated from
two column headings in the melted data frame. I want to change all 56
headings in a single command, but 'names' allows me to change only one at a
time. In Hadley's 2007 article on reshape in the Journal of Statistical
Software he mentions a 'rename' function, but I cannot find that.

  Is there a way to change all data frame column headings in a single
command?

Rich
