hi,


I have two data.frames each with two columns;


x1

1       4
1       3
1       6
2       9
2       2
2       5
3       6
3       7
3       4


x2

1       -3
1       -7
2       -3
2       -2
2       -8
3       -1
3       -2
3       -1

now I want to merge this data.frames to one data.frame.

The problem is, that sometimes there is a different number of elements per category. (like above x1 has 3 values for the value 1 in the first row, but x2 has only 2 values for the value 1 in the first row).

Is there an easy way to merge this two data.frames by deleting the rows that only one data.frame "has". In the example, that resulting data.frame would be the data.frame x1 and x2 except the row 3 of data.frame x1.

thanks for any suggestions!
