Hi,

This is the input data frame:

###############################################
df.1 = read.table(header=T,text="
id gender WMC_alcohol WMC_caffeine WMC_no.drug RT_alcohol RT_caffeine
RT_no.drug
1 1 female 3.7 3.7 3.9 488 236 371
2 2 female 6.4 7.3 7.9 607 376 349
3 3 female 4.6 7.4 7.3 643 226 412
4 4 male 6.4 7.8 8.2 684 206 252
5 5 female 4.9 5.2 7.0 593 262 439
6 6 male 5.4 6.6 7.2 492 230 464
7 7 male 7.9 7.9 8.9 690 259 327
8 8 male 4.1 5.9 4.5 486 230 305
9 9 female 5.2 6.2 7.2 686 273 327
10 10 female 6.2 7.4 7.8 645 240 498
                  ")
###############################################

This is the desired output:
###############################################

2 2 female alcohol 6.4 607

8 8 male alcohol 4.1 486
9 9 female alcohol 5.2 686
10 10 female alcohol 6.2 645
11 1 female caffeine 3.7 236
12 2 female caffeine 7.3 376

I know some melt and cast magic is required. But I was unable to sort it
myself.

Here are the dput versions:
