Hello Petr,

sorry for the mixed up. your example works perfectly fine.

The one from Søren has shown the mentioned error.  But even after reading
the columns as character

> go <- read.table("go.txt", header= TRUE, colClasses = c("character",
"character"))
or
> go <- read.table("go.txt", header= TRUE, as.is = 1)


it didn't solve the problem.
the command:
gmt <- lapplyBy(~GO, data = go, FUN = function(uu) {as.list(uu$GO[1],
paste(uu$gen, collapse = " "))})

tries to convert my first column into integers and thand add 'NA's.

What I don't understand is why.
Does lapplyBy can work only with integers?

THX,

Assa
