How to remove/hide column names in kable?

Question

I am plotting a table using following code but I found there is unnecessary column names V1 and V2 appear as column name.

statdat<-read.table("stat.txt",sep="\t",header=FALSE)
kable(statdat)

How can I avoid printing the column name?

Have you tried the `col.names` argument? – RLesur Jul 18 '18 at 20:45 — RLesur, Jul 18 '18 at 20:45
Yes but col.names = null does not produce table – Manish Jul 19 '18 at 12:32 — Manish, Jul 19 '18 at 12:32

You can set col.names to NULL to remove the column names:

kable(statdat, col.names = NULL)

An alternative solution is to use format="pandoc" and cat() to select the relevant rows after the table has been created. This solution is given here: R- knitr:kable - How to display table without column names?
