Here's a case where it doesn't work. Again, the problem is that when I use the rbind or concatenate functions, the 2012 data set seems to go ahead of the 2010 and 2011 portions of the data set. The problem seems dependent on the text files I read in:
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4531011/old.txt old.txt http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4531011/new.txt new.txt using this code: http://pastebin.com/8W6KaaPQ In a case where it works, and the data seemed to be in the right order, I read in a different old.txt named old1.txt and somehow it seemed to work. The contents and format were similar to that of new.txt where there was 18 columns with the same headers. Here are the files to use: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4531011/old1.txt old1.txt http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4531011/new.txt new.txt using this code: http://pastebin.com/6iNF5bPd That should clarify the issue I'm having. Let me know if a dput is necessary here. However all the vectors and vector modes seem to check out okay. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Trying-to-merge-new-data-set-to-bottom-of-old-data-set-Both-are-zoo-objects-tp4530888p4531011.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
