Hi, I'm a new user or R and I try to concatenate a several rows according
with the value in a column.

this is my data.frame and I want to concatenate my data.frame according with the column "b" and make a new data.frame with the information in the others
columns.

table1 <- <-read.table(text="
        a                    b         c             d

10 E001237 TSV IP237 simple_domain",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

        b     c             d                  a
1 E001234 IP234   like_domain TSA, TSB, TSC, TSD
2 E001236 IP236   like_domain           TSP, TST
3 E001237 IP237 simple_domain                TSV
4 E001235 IP235    two_domain      TSA, TSD, TSS

Swapping the column position is left as an exercise.

I want my table in this way

table_new
        a                    b                                      c
d
1      E001234      TSA, TSB, TSC, TSD    IP234   like_domain
2      E001235                TSA, TSD, TSS    IP235   two_domain
3      E001236                 TSP, TSP, TST    IP236   like_domain
4      E001237                                   TSV    IP237
simple_domain

How can I do this in R?

Thanks
