[R] data frame "sum"

[arun]

Hi,
ab<- cbind(a,b) 
indx<-duplicated(names(ab))|duplicated(names(ab),fromLast=TRUE)
res1<-cbind(ab[!indx],v2=rowSums(ab[indx]))
 res1[,order(as.numeric(gsub("[A-Za-z]","",names(res1)))),]
#v1 v2 v3
#1  3  4  5

#Another example:

a2<- data.frame(v1=c(3,6,7),v2=c(2,4,8))
 b2<- data.frame(v2=c(2,6,7),v3=c(5,4,9))
 ab2<- cbind(a2,b2)
indx<-duplicated(names(ab2))|duplicated(names(ab2),fromLast=TRUE)
res1<-cbind(ab2[!indx],v2=rowSums(ab2[indx]))
 res1[,order(as.numeric(gsub("[A-Za-z]","",names(res1)))),]
#  v1 v2 v3
#1  3  4  5
#2  6 10  4
#3  7 15  9
A.K.
