[R] extracting rows and columns from a big matrix

[A J]

Sorry so much for mistakes. 

It was an example code and I commited some mistakes typing it. But meaning the original code is right (I have checked several times) I am not sure about how to solve the problem of extracting columns and rows using labels from a squared matrix. I have enclosed a text file with the idea in order to understand it better.

Thanks again, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

AJ
