Thank you fro the reply.
I managed to arrive till here, then I would like to have it in matrix
where the $1 $2...$5 are the first column.

Is the following what you want?

$1
[1] 11
$2
[1] 7
$3
[1] 4
$4
[1] 9 8 3
$5
[1] 12 4
Here I did
c <- split(b, a)
d <- do.call(rbind,c)
and I get
[,1] [,2] [,3]
1 11 11 11
2 7 7 7
3 4 4 4
4 9 8 3
5 12 4 12
Instead of what I would like:
[,1] [,2] [,3]
1 11
2 7
3 4
4 9 8 3
5 12 4
A solution could be rbind.fill , which does not seem to work with list.
thanks

Note that your df<-cbind(a,b) produces a matrix, not the data.frame
that your df suggests you want. Use df<-data.frame(a,b) to make
a data.frame. Then you could do with(df, split(a,b)) to operate on
the a and b in the data.frame df.

Subject: [R] reshaping a dataset for a network
dear all,
apologizes for bothering with a probably stupid question but I really
don' t know how to proceed.
I have a dataset which look like df
a<- c(1,2,3,4,4,4,5,5)
b<- c(11,7,4,9,8,3,12,4)
df<-cbind(a,b)
I would like to have one which looks like this:
a
1 11
2 7
3 4
4 9 8 3
5 12 4
a are vertex of a network, b the edges. In the data the lenght of a is
about 50000
I read several posts about reshape, reshape2, split, ldply but I
couldn't manage to do it. The problem seems to be that the is not a real
panel.
Any help would be really appreciated,
my best regards
Marco
