[R] cbind question, please

[David Kienle]

Hello Erin,

I think you have explain your goal more detailed. Maybe I am completely 
lost but as far as I understand now you only need the command cbind:

m1 <- cbind(dog, dat, tree)

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

But I can't imagine that is the solution you are looking for.

Cheers
David
