Suppose I have two columns of entries, how can I get the union of the two columns? Please note: I input my columns through excel. These entries have text format in excel. Also, out of curiosity, how can I find out the data type of a data frame ?
> a <- read.csv("book1.csv") > a n1 n2 1 apple soda 2 orange apple 3 soda green 4 red yellow 5 white blue 6 white > union(a$n1,a$n2) [1] 2 3 5 4 6 1 I want the actual names instead of the indexes. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
