Hello R users,
I am fairly new to R and was hoping you could point me in the right
direction I have a set of text files (36).
Each file has only two columns (id and count) , I am trying to figure out a
way to load all the files together and
then have them ordered by id into a matrix data frame. For example

If each txt file has :
ID           count
id_00002 20
id_00003 3

A Merged File:
ID           count_file1 count_file2 count_file3 count_file4
id_00002 20         8              12               5             19 26
id_00003 3 0 2 0 0 0
id_00004 75 84 241 149 271 257

Is there a relatively simply way to do that in R? I was trying with <-
read.table
and then <- cbind but that does not appear to be working.  Any suggestions
folks have are appreciated.
Thanks
-Rich
