Hello R users, I am fairly new to R and was hoping you could point me in the right direction I have a set of text files (36). Each file has only two columns (id and count) , I am trying to figure out a way to load all the files together and then have them ordered by id into a matrix data frame. For example
If each txt file has : ID count id_00002 20 id_00003 3 A Merged File: ID count_file1 count_file2 count_file3 count_file4 id_00002 20 8 12 5 19 26 id_00003 3 0 2 0 0 0 id_00004 75 84 241 149 271 257 Is there a relatively simply way to do that in R? I was trying with <- read.table and then <- cbind but that does not appear to be working. Any suggestions folks have are appreciated.
