[R] How can I access the title of a table read via read.csv?

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

If it's the title, i.e., the header of a table read in by read.csv maybe

names(fx1)

is better, since data.frames are special cases of lists. The end result 
is of course the same.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
