Hi, I am trying to edit a data frame such that the string in the first line is appended onto the beginning of each element in the subsequent rows. The data looks like this:
> df V1 V2 V3 V4 1 DPA1* DPA1* DPB1* DPB1* 2 0103 0104 0401 0601 3 0103 0103 0301 0402 . . and what I want is this: >dfnew V1 V2 V3 V4 1 DPA1* DPA1* DPB1* DPB1* 2 DPA1*0103 DPA1*0104 DPB1*0401 DPB1*0601 3 DPA1*0103 DPA1*0103 DPB1*0301 DPB1*0402 any help is much appreciated, I am new to this and struggling.
