Dear all, Here is my code which am using to combine 5th column from different data sets. Here is the function to do my job genesymbol.append.file <-NULL gene.column <- NULL readGeneSymbol <- function(files,genesymbol.column=5){ for(i in fnames){ temp <- read.table(fnames,header=T,sep="\t",stringsAsFactors=F,quote="\"")

I want to take the first row of each unique ID value from a data frame. For instance > ddTable <- data.frame(Id=c(1,1,2,2),name=c("Paul","Joe","Bob","Larry")) I want a dataset that is Id Name 1 Paul 2 Bob > unique(ddTable) Will give me all 4 rows, and > unique(ddTable$Id) Will give me c(1,2), but not accompanied by the name column.
