It isn't entirely clear to me what you want. table() can function with many kinds of data, not just integers, so it returns a vector with names.
For your case, with integer classes, you seem to possibly want: > x <- table(k) > x <- rbind(as.numeric(names(x)), as.numeric(x)) > x [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1 2 3 5 6 9 [2,] 9 2 3 1 1 1 but a more general approach is: > x <- table(k) > x[1] 1 9 > names(x[1]) [1] "1" > as.numeric(names(x[1])) [1] 1 Sarah On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 5:20 AM, fre <fre_stam...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I have the following problem: > > I have some string with numbers like k.
