Hi,

I have 2 text files the first one is in the following format:

CC:  "Some statements"
...............................................
this is continued for 11-12 lines of variable length.
then a line containing the variable names used in the file and then the variable fields with their  observations...there are in all 684 observations.

The next  file is a text file containing 3 variables and 684 observations but are not numbered , I mean 1 to 684. Only th variable values are there along with thew column headers.

My target is to merge these 2 text files and create a  new text file preserving the format of the first one becos the subsequent steps of the main program uses the format of the first file. I have to create an id variable that numbers the observations from 1 to 684 and then merge th 2 files with that id, because the first one has the id variable numbered from 1 to 684.

Please help me to achieve this in R.

Regards
Chandramouli Banerjee
