Hi: Suppose I create the dataframe df using the following code:
df <- data.frame( item1 = c('milk', 'bread','beer','beer','milk','beer'), item2 =c('bread', 'butter','diaper','diaper','bread', 'diaper'), stringsAsFactors = F); df item1 item2 1 milk bread 2 bread butter 3 beer diaper 4 beer diaper 5 milk bread 6 beer diaper And now i want the following output: milk,bread 2 bread,butter 1 beer,diaper 3 milk,bread 2 and "milk,bread" is a single datum. I hope this clarifies the problem! Thanks!
