Hi,
I'm trying to take a vector (length almost 2,000,000) and merge it
with a
data frame of the same length. I'm trying to do it solely based on
index,
and not any other factors.
The vector is called "offense", and the data frame is just called
"data".
Bad name. There is a function named 'data'.
I
went with the simplest option:
merge(data,offense)
It wouldn't make much sense to merge a vector with a dataframe. The
matching column should not appear any different except perhaps
shorter. Sounds like you want cbind() rather than merge.
(You really should have posted str(.) on both objects.)

David.
but it always gives me the same error:
Error in rep.int(rep.int(seq_len(nx), rep.int(rep.fac, nx)), orep) :
negative length vectors are not allowed
Solutions that haven't worked:
- Changing offense into a data frame
- Data doesn't exceed the 2^31 (2 billion) limit for length. When
combined
with offense, it will have about 68 million items total
Thanks! DL
