[R] Obtaining summary of frequencies of value occurrences for a variable in a multivariate dataset.

[Allan Kamau]

Hi all,
If the question below as been answered before I
apologize for the posting.
I would like to get the frequencies of occurrence of
all values in a given variable in a multivariate
dataset. In short for each variable (or field) a
summary of values contained with in a value:frequency
pair, there can be many such pairs for a given
variable. I would like to do the same for several such
variables.
I have used table() but am unable to extract the
individual value and frequency values.
Please advise.

Allan.
