Dear all

I have a data.frame like that :

father  mother  num_daughter    daughter
291     3906    0       NULL
275     4219    0       NULL
273     4236    1       49410
281     4163    1       49408
274     4226    1       49406
295     3869    2       49403
                                49404
287     4113    0       NULL
295     3871    1       49401
292     3895    4       49396
                                49397
                                49398
                                49399
291     3900    3       49392

How to read it into R and transform it like that:

father mother   num_daughter   daughter1  daughter2  daughter3 daughter4
291     3906    0       NULL
275     4219    0       NULL
273     4236    1       49410
281     4163    1       49408
274     4226    1       49406
295     3869    2       49403      49404
287     4113    0       NULL
295     3871    1       49401
292     3895    4       49396      49397    49398   49399
291     3900    3       49392

library (plyr) and library (reshape2) and other good packages are  OK for me.

Thanks a lot!
