merge.zoo can do a multiple merge. We create a list of zoo objects, mylist.z, and then perform the merge: > library(zoo) > mylist.z <- lapply(mylist, function(x) zoo(x$data, as.character(x$pos))) > do.call(merge.zoo, mylist.z) df1 df2 df3 A 2 6 9 B 6 2 3 C 3 9 6 D 1 7 2

Hi Antje, Try this: merge(merge(mylist[[1]], mylist[[2]], by = "pos"), mylist[[3]]) On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 11:19 AM, Antje wrote: > Henrique Dallazuanna schrieb: > >> Try this also: >> >> cbind(pos = mylist$df1$pos, data.frame(mylist)[grep("data", >> names(data.frame(mylist)))]) >> > > Hi He

[R] merging several dataframes from a list

2009-01-21 Thread Antje
Hi there, I have a list of dataframes (generated by reading multiple files) and all dataframes are comparable in dimension and column names. They also have a common column, which, I'd like to use for merging. To give a simple example of what I have: df1 <- data.frame(c(LETTERS[1:5]), c(2,6,3
