I have a question that I'm sure is obvious to you all who are experts.
I would like to copy specific columns (not all) from one data frame into
another, data and column names altogether. The problem is in copying
the column names. I am able to copy all the column names from one data
frame to another using names(), but names() and name.cols() have not
been able to copy only specific column names for me, particularly if I
just want to copy one column name or if I want to copy columns that are
not sequential. There must be a function or command or combination of
commands that will copy the column names along with the data of columns
that I specify.
For example, I have a logical vector named 'good' that specifies which
columns in a data frame meet certain specifications. I want to copy
those columns with their names and data into another data frame that may
already have data in it, or not. Any ideas?
