Can somebody remember me which is the command to erase
columns from a data frame?
Thanks Michele

I hope the following code-piece helps what you are looking for:

mydf <- as.data.frame(matrix(runif(100),ncol=5))

### if you want to erase the third column, do:
mydf <- mydf[,-3]


mydf2 <- as.data.frame(matrix(runif(100),ncol=20))

### if you want to erase the first, third and twentieth column, do:
mydf2 <- mydf2[,-c(1,5,20)]

Ciao,
Roland
