How to select certain columns within a dataframe without using numbers in brackets?

Hi
Is there any way to select specific columns in these brackets [
] without using numbers? I.e., let' s say I have a column named "%Match" of a dataframe called "data" and I want to see all row values of that column, and let's say it has position 3. I could write data[,3], but is it in any way possible to instead use the column name, i.e., I would like to write data[,data$%Match] but that doesn't work.

If %Match is the third column...

dat[,"%Match"]

...is equivalent to...

dat[,3]

Ah ok, thank you Sir!
