That should read the "reshape" package -- not the "shape" package.
My apologies.

It's not clear to me what it is you are attempting to do, as you switch from a
very specific example to some general example with the vague terms "var1"
"var2", and "var3."
It sounds like you might be trying to do something similar to what would be
available in the shape package using the melt function.
Try ?melt.data.frame.

Subject: [R] reformatting some data
Hello,
I am trying to reformat some data so that it is organized by group in the
columns. The data currently looks like this:
group X3.Hydroxybutyrate X3.Hydroxyisovalerate ADP
347 4 4e-04 3e-04 5e-04
353 3 5e-04 3e-04 6e-04
359 4 4e-04 3e-04 6e-04
365 4 6e-04
3e-04 5e-04
371 4 5e-04 3e-04 7e-04
377 2 7e-04 4e-04 7e-04
I would like to reformat it so it is like this:
2 3 4
var1
var2
var3
I realize that there unequal numbers in each group but I would like to
none-the-less if possible.
Here is a subset of the data:
structure(list(group = c(4L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 2L), X3.Hydroxybutyrate =
c(4e-04,
5e-04,
4e-04, 6e-04, 5e-04, 7e-04), X3.Hydroxyisovalerate = c(3e-04,
3e-04, 3e-04, 3e-04, 3e-04, 4e-04), ADP = c(5e-04, 6e-04, 6e-04,
5e-04, 7e-04, 7e-04)), .Names = c("group", "X3.Hydroxybutyrate",
"X3.Hydroxyisovalerate", "ADP"), row.names = c(347L, 353L, 359L,
365L, 371L, 377L), class = "data.frame")
Any insight is truly appreciated,
Regards,
Charles
