Re: [R] Simple loop code

Thanks David & Henrique, I've been using R for over two years and always used cbind or rbind, that was what I was taught by several folk, and on training courses, you learn something new every day! Cheers, Ross -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Simple-loop-code-t

Thanks Henrique, that works! for anyone else as slow as me, just: ##Assign x <- factor(dat.ID$ID2, labels = 1:7) ##Convert to dataframe x <- as.data.frame(x) ##Then bind to your data z <- cbind(y,x) Thanks again, I expected it to be more complicated! Cheers, Ross -- View this message in
