[R] calculate correlations

[Michael Dewey]

If I understand this correctly you are choosing all the rows from each 
of cod and lnc which contain .c (ie any character followed by a C) and 
deleting the first column from each of cod and lnc. You then correlate 
them so that you get the correlation between corresponding columns of 
each. Since you do not tell us how you know which column is which it is 
hard to answer the question of how R will know.
