That's no table that's a data.frame :).
For what you want probably the easiest way is
aggregate. Type ?aggregate for the help information
Based on your example and assuming the data is called
"mydata" this shold do what you want.
aggregate(mydata[,2:3], by=list(item=mydata$Item),
sum)
---
Note that read.table() reads a table and returns a _data frame_. So it is
the _data frame_ that you want to change (a table is something else in R).
This is a simple application of aggregate(), e.g.
> aggregate(z[-1], list(Item=z$Item), sum)
Item X3d_Plot XY_plot
