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

Why do you want "milk,bread" twice?


and "milk,bread" is a single datum. I hope this clarifies the problem!


If you don't want milk,bread twice, I'd go with:

table(apply(df, 1, paste, collapse=","))

Thanks!

? table

First however confirm "that milk,bread" is a single datum. str() should do
this

Can you post a sample of the data here using dput()?

Hi:

I have a dataframe containing comma seperated group of words such as

milk,bread
bread,butter
beer,diaper
beer,diaper
milk,bread
beer,diaper

I want to output the frequency of occurrence of comma separated words
for each row and collapse duplicate rows, to make the output as shown
in the following dataframe:

milk,bread   2
bread,butter 1
beer,diaper  3
milk,bread   2

Thanks for help!
