Greetings!
I am just now learning to use R for my dissertation project. I need
to manipulate a lot of text and numeric data. I created a data frame
that has 7 columns and 127 unique rows. Now I need to replicate each
line 6 times and then later change values in the first 2 columns.
I am trying to figure out how to accomplish this. I think that I need
to use rep(my.df, each=6) but it does not quite work.
This is the sample data frame
"col1" "col2" "col3" "col4" "col5" "col6" "col7"
foo bar 1 blah blah blah blah
foo bar 2 blah blah blah blah
foo bar 3 blah blah blah blah
......
......
I need to change it into this:
"col1" "col2" "col3" "col4" "col5" "col6" "col7"
foo bar 1 blah blah blah blah
foo bar 1 blah blah blah blah
....
foo bar 1 blah blah blah blah
foo bar 2 blah blah blah blah
foo bar 2 blah blah blah blah
....
foo bar 2 blah blah blah blah
foo bar 3 blah blah blah blah
foo bar 3 blah blah blah blah
....
foo bar 3 blah blah blah blah
.....
.....
and so on.
Thanks!
