see ?aggregate, and ?summaryBy (in package doBy)

I am trying to aggregate data in column 2 to identifiers in col 1

eg..

take this>

identifier       quantity
1                     10
1                     20
2                     30
1                     15
2                     10
3                     20

and make this>

identifier         quantity
1                    45
2                    40
