[datatable-help] Column retrieval

[Matthew Dowle]

Hi. Welcome to the list. Assuming you really do have a data.table and 
not a data.frame and have joined the right mailing list then the term 
"interpret text" is very vague (!) but it's possible to guess ...
     DT[ `Created by Analyst` == "certain analyst" ]
maybe.  That's a vector scan but see intro vignette for the faster 
binary search way. The backquotes are needed if you have spaces in the 
column names.

Please browse and search questions on the data.table tag on stack overflow :
