Hi Nevil,

We really need an example here of what you're doing, since
merge() does keep the id column by default.


x<- data.frame(id = c("a", "b", "c", NA), x=c(1,2,3,4))
y<- data.frame(id1 = c(NA, "a", "d", "c"), y=c(101, 102, 103, 104))
merge(x, y)
   id x   y
1  a 1 102
2  b 2 101
3  c 3 104
4  d 4 103

How do I keep the linking column[s] in a merge()?
  I need to use the values again in a further merge.

thanks
