[R] alternative to subset(dataframe, select = - column) in R

[Luigi Marongiu]

Thank you!
```
new_out <- new[ , "ID" != names( new ) ]
new[names(new) != "ID"]
```
worked as wanted, `new[-match("ID"), names(new)]` gave the error:
`Error in match("ID") : argument "table" is missing, with no default`.
Cheers
