Slightly guessing what you want. Toy example set.seed(123) mydf <- lapply(1:4,FUN=function(dname) data.frame(x=round(runif(10),2), y=round(runif(10),2),z=round(runif(10),2))) mydf do.call(cbind,lapply(mydf, function(df) df[,1:2])) Berend ______________________________________________ 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.
