Ok, before I definetly give up, and throw the laptop out of the window, or
fill my data.frame manually, I'll ask for some help.
I have a data.frame named MyTable with 3 columns, that looks like this:

     V1              V2                       V3
red-j    appearanceblood-n 105.032
red-j   appearanceground-n  93.749
red-j      appearancesea-n 102.167
red-j      appearancesky-n   10.898
orange-j        appearanceobject-n      109.354
orange-j        as_adj_aspainting-n     93.248
orange-j        colorbanknote-n 159.167
orange-j        colorcar-n      117.985
yellow-j        appearanceskin-n        109.527
yellow-j        areacircle-n    87.064
yellow-j        areainfarction-n        120.759
yellow-j        as_adj_ascorn-n 219.739
yellow-j        as_adj_asflax-n 122.576
yellow-j        as_adj_asgold-n 90.814
green-j appearancewater-n       91.477
green-j architecturebuilding-n  103.582
green-j architecturecourse-n    103.325
green-j areaRio-n       106.614
green-j areaauditorium-n        102.505
green-j areacity-n      150.005
blue-j  appearancecypress-n     145.133
blue-j  appearancefirmament-n   148.655
blue-j  appearanceman-n 85.731
blue-j  appearancerange-n       90.706
blue-j  appearancesurface-n     100.991
blue-j  areagraph-n     92.708
blue-j  arealibrary-n   77.135
purple-j        appearanceleave-n       119.423
purple-j        appearancelesion-n      134.287
purple-j        colorViking-n   145.516
purple-j        coloramethyst-n 175.619
purple-j        colorbanknote-n 158.045
purple-j        colorbottle-n   132.395
purple-j        colorchocolate-n        141.833

The elements on the first column can be: red-j, orange-j, yellow-j, green-j,
blue-j or purple-j. Elements on column 2 are contexts in which the color
appears. And in column 3 there is a kind of frequency measurement between
color and context.

I am trying to build a new data.frame where the 6 colors in column 1 are
placed as column names, all the unique contexts in column 2 are placed as
row names and the values on column 3 are in the correspondent cells (or 0 if
an intersection color-context is empty).
Easy to prepare the empty data.frame, but I cant find out how to fill it up
with the frequencies.
Ideas? Anybody has a ready script for this?

Thank you!!!

Marianna
