[R] multiple t-tests across similar variable names

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Could you post a data example? Using, with data.frame named 'dat'

dput( head(dat, 30) )  # paste the output of this in a post

I have written code that creates pairs pre/post columns but it can't 
really be tested.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
