HI, I guess this is what you are looking for: merge(myframe2,environ2, by="ID") # ID Hunger myframestime Temp Rain envirotime #1 Bert 2 2012-09-24 10:00:00 27 2 2012-09-25 10:00:00 #2 Bert 2 2012-09-25 10:00:00 27 2 2012-09-25 10:00:00 #3 Ernie 1 2012-09-24 09:00:00 25 0.1 2012-09-24 09:00:00 #4 Ernie 1 2012-09-24 09:00:00 30 5 2012-09-25 09:00:00 #5 Ernie 1 2012-09-25 09:00:00 25 0.1 2012-09-24 09:00:00 #6 Ernie 1 2012-09-25 09:00:00 30 5 2012-09-25 09:00:00 A.K.

Can anyone help me? I have a data frame somewhat like that: myframe <- data.frame (ID=c("Ernie", "Ernie", "Bert", "Bert"), Timestamp=c("24.09.2012 09:00", "25.09.2012 09:00", "24.09.2012 10:00", "25.09.2012 10:00"), Hunger=c("1","1","2","2") ) myframestime <- as.POSIXct (strptime(as.character(myframe$Timestamp), "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"), tz="GMT") myframe2 <- cbind (myframe,myframestime) myframe2$Timestamp <- NULL Now I have a second dataframe with environmental variables. Something like this: environ <- data.frame (ID=c("Ernie", "Ernie", "Bert"), Timestamp=c("24.09.2012 09:00", "25.09.2012 09:00", "25.09.2012 10:00"), Temp=c("25","30","27"), Rain =c ("0.1", "5", "2")) envirotime <- as.POSIXct (strptime(as.character(environ$Timestamp), "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"), tz="GMT") environ2 <- cbind (environ,envirotime) environ2$Timestamp <- NULL How do I merge or handle the two data frames at the respective lines so that I get the data (Temp, Rain) at the correct line with (Hunger)? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/add-a-data-frame-to-my-data-frame-tp4644122.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. ______________________________________________ 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.
