A further tip:

        subset(as.data.frame(xtabs( ~. , dat )), Freq != 0 )

Comes very close to generating output along the lines of what

        'sort | uniq -c'

provides (if this is what was wanted rather than rle() ) and works for multiple columns of data. The count becomes the last column (labelled 'Freq'); it is trivial to reorder columns if needed.

HTH,

Is there an R analog of the Unix command uniq -c:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniq

Given an array x, uniq -c replaces each contiguous subsequence of
identical numbers with a tuple (count, number).  E.g.

$ cat > usample
10
10
9
8
8
7
7
7
6
3
1
1
1
0
$ uniq -c usample
      2 10
      1 9
      2 8
      3 7
      1 6
      1 3
      3 1
      1 0

Cheers,
Alexy
