[R] cbind question, please

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Erin,
Well, if I do this:

dog <- 1:3
cat <- 2:4
tree <- 5:7
dct<-cbind(dog,cat,tree)

I get this:

dct
     dog cat tree
[1,]   1   2    5
[2,]   2   3    6
[3,]   3   4    7

If I assume that you want to include the character vector as well:

rownames(dct)<-big.char
dct

Jim
