r - How do I replace multiple column names with substring -


i want edit multiple column names substring(). code wrote isn't working.

weirdly enough following code works. old column names:

oldcolnames <- names(forcesdf[,c(5:20)])

results in:

> names(forcesdf[,c(5:20)]) [1] "2000 [yr2000]" "2001 [yr2001]" "2002 [yr2002]" "2003 [yr2003]" "2004 [yr2004]" "2005 [yr2005]" "2006 [yr2006]" [8] "2007 [yr2007]" "2008 [yr2008]" "2009 [yr2009]" "2010 [yr2010]" "2011 [yr2011]" "2012 [yr2012]" "2013 [yr2013]" [15] "2014 [yr2014]" "2015 [yr2015]"

and new column names:

newcolnames <- substring(names(forcesdf[,c(5:20)]), 1, 4) oldcolnames <- newcolnames

results in excually want:

> oldcolnames [1] "2000" "2001" "2002" "2003" "2004" "2005" "2006" "2007" "2008" "2009" "2010" "2011" "2012" "2013" "2014" "2015"

of course, want change column names in dataframe initially, wrote following code colnames didn't change.

names(forcesdf[,c(5:20)]) <- substring(names(forcesdf[,c(5:20)]), 1, 4)  > names(forcesdf[,c(5:20)]) [1] "2000 [yr2000]" "2001 [yr2001]" "2002 [yr2002]" "2003 [yr2003]" "2004 [yr2004]" "2005 [yr2005]" "2006 [yr2006]" [8] "2007 [yr2007]" "2008 [yr2008]" "2009 [yr2009]" "2010 [yr2010]" "2011 [yr2011]" "2012 [yr2012]" "2013 [yr2013]" [15] "2014 [yr2014]" "2015 [yr2015]"

test this

names(forcesdf)[5:20] <- substring(names(forcesdf[,c(5:20)]), 1, 4)

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
