I'm not sure that merge will do what you originally requested. At
least look at rbind before deciding to go with merge.

Hi!
I'm reading and cleaning data from multiple excel spreadsheets.
All the
data has the same column names and the natural next step is to join
the
lists of data together to make one list for reporting purposes. I
had
thought that c(file1data, file2data) would do the trick but that
seems to
append the new columns to the list so I end up with duplicate
column names
"col1" "col2" "col3" "col1" col2" "col3" rather than consolidated
column
data. It's obviously a straight forward operation, but damned if I
can find
a straight forward explanation on the web. Any assistance would be
most
appreciated!
