I have two data frames like so > qpiso iso requests 1 A1 20 2 A2 199 3 AD 5 4 AE 176 ... 189 ZW 82
> qplegit iso requests 1 A2 36 2 AE 4 3 AM 2 4 AO 1 ... 100 ZW 3 I want to create another dataframe qpspam which contains all pairs from pqiso with the values for requests of qplegit being subtracted from those which exist in qpiso, ie iso requests 1 A1 20 2 A2 163 3 AD 5 4 AE 172 ... 189 ZW 79 but don't know how to do this, and google isn't too helpful. As usual, a solution is preferred, but a pointer to where I can read this up is equally appreciated :-)-O el ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
