Hello everyone,
I have a data frame in which I am wanting to eliminate the row labels and then relabel the rows with 
g1-g2000.I have used the following code:
dat<-read.table(file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\colon cancer1.txt",header=T,row.names=1)
file.show(file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\colon cancer1.txt")
I thought that this would eliminate the row labels (first column) because of the header=T and row.names=1 argument.
Then I tried to add the following to relabel the rows (first column) g1-g2000
dat<-read.table(file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\colon cancer1.txt",header=T,row.names=1)
row.names(dat)<-paste("g",c(1:nrow(dat)),sep="")
file.show(file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\colon cancer1.txt")
However I still get the same row labels that I have to begin with.
Any help or explantation would be much appreciated.
Paul
