It might have a disadvantage in that it produces NA's instead of the requested 0's, but that would be easily remedied with an: is.na(obj) <- 0 It was much neater than my hack: sapply(1:max(A), function(x) ifelse(x %in% A, tapply(B, A, sum)[as.character(x)], 0) ) Which would have neded to be rbind()'ed to 1:max(A) to get the desired construction. --David. > > On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 9:26 AM, Maithili Shiva > <maithili_sh...@yahoo.com>wrote: > >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Dear Sirs, >> >> At the outset I sincerely apologize for reproducing my query to you.
