Changing vector names

To tidy up my data, I used following function -

tolower(gsub("\\.","",names(data)))

to remove Capitalization and dots (.) from long vector names like Last.Inquiry.For.Loan

It worked and gave back: lastinquiryforloan. But it is not sticking. When I run summary(data), I see all the old vector names. How do I make this change permanent, so that analysis is easier for me?

Arun is saying that you never actually replaced the old names. Try

names(data) <- tolower(gsub("\\.","",names(data)))
