[R] re place column names

[R Help]

names(dat) will return the column names for a dataset called dat, and
they can also be set this way.

names(dat) <- c("firstName","secondName","thirdName",...)

I would suggest reading the column names into a vector, and then
assigning them as demonstrated above.
