[R] keep row names into data

[arun]

Hi,
Try:
dat1<- read.csv("mydata.csv",sep="\t",row.names=1)  #sep could be different in your case.
 dat1
#       A B C D E
#Jhon   1 3 6 9 8
#Kelly  2 3 4 6 9
#Audrey 3 5 6 9 7

Hi, 

I am calling my csv data with 37 columns and 16 rows into R. However I really need to keep coloumns names as well as row names. 
Columns names is easy to keep using the command below. But how to keep row names?   

data<-read.csv("mydata", header=TRUE) 

My spreadsheet is like: 
                  A B C D E ... 
Jhon         1  3 6 9 8 
Kelly         2  3 4 6 9 
Audrey    3  5 6 9 7 
... 

In this case I need students names. 
Thanks anyone.
