HI,

May be this helps:

lst1<- structure(list(File1 = structure(list(ColA = c("A", "B"), ColB = c(2.4, 
2.1)), .Names = c("ColA", "ColB"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-2L)), File2 = structure(list(colA = c("A", "B"), ColB = c(1.3, 
0.4)), .Names = c("colA", "ColB"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-2L))), .Names = c("File1", "File2"))

res<-do.call(cbind,lapply(lst1,`[`,2))
row.names(res)<- unlist(unique(sapply(lst1,`[`,1)))
 colnames(res)<- names(lst1)
 res
#  File1 File2
#A   2.4   1.3
#B   2.1   0.4
A.K.

Subject: Re: [R] Creating data frame from individual files
 

HI:
sorry for confusion. 
I have 72 files and all 72 files have first identical column. 2nd column format 
is same but different numbers.
every file in 72 files have identical number of rows. (90,799).



ColA   ColB
A        2.4
B        2.1


File 2:

colA   ColB

A   1.3
B   0.4


I want to have one data frame with the following:
         File1   File 2 
A        2.4      1.3
B        2.1       0.4


Finally I will have a data frame of 90,799 x 72.

Thank you for helping.
Adrian
