In R, how to enumerate a data.frame column by column? The pseudo code is like

foreach col ( data.frame ) {
process col;
store processed col elsewhere
}

There is probably some cooler way to do this but here is what I do:


numColumns <- dim(myDataFrame)[2]

for (i in 1:numColumns) {

myColumn <- myDataFrame[,i]

do stuff to myColumn

}



Also related, how to find out the index of the last row/element of a data.frame/vector?

See the "dim" command above. D.
