[R] Get the names of the columns in a tserie

[Spencer Graves]

      Have you tried 'str(X)' on the 'X' object that 'read.ts' created 
for you?  If you've done that and still can't solve your problem, I 
suggest you review the "Introduction to R" manual, available as the 
first option on the left from the "html" file you get from 
'help.start()'.  If that still does not answer your question, I suggest 
you review the 'zoo' vignette.  For more information about how to access 
that, I suggest you try 
"http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/67006.html" (which was 
the first of 35 hits that I got just now in response to  
'RSiteSearch("graves zoo vignette")'). 

      If you'd like further help from this listserve, please provide 
commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code, as suggested in 
the posting guide "www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html".  Your example 
was not self contained.  Also, R is case sensitive, so "Tseries" is 
different from "tseries".  I believe you can increase your chances of 
getting more and more useful replies quicker by thinking about what 
someone would have to know to be able to answer your question.  In 
particular, a very short, self contained example sometimes invites 
people who may never have used the 'tseries' package before to 
experiment with your example.  By doing so, they get a very quick 
introduction to 'tseries', and with only a little luck, you get a quick 
answer to your question.  It's "win-win", and I've learned a lot doing 
just that.  Without a simple, self-contained example, I know it will 
likely take me a lot longer to even understand what you are asking, and 
I will likely not be very confident that I even understand your question 
even if I attempt an answer. 

      Hope this helps.
