Thanks.

Soon after I posted this question, I discovered merge().

All -

I have a data frame

data.a
ID    valueA  valueB
6     12      12
17    15      14
58    18      16
98    11      12
73    19      20
84    19      14
58    20      14
24    11      12
81    15      16
21    15      14
62    14      12
67    13      14
78    13      17
35    10      13
13    11      15
14    17      18
85    16      15
35    13      9
18    15      16

and a data frame

data.b
ID    valueA  valueB
6
84
21
78
14

I'd like to have R find the data.b$ID in data.a$ID and insert the
corresponding data.a$valueA and data.a$valueB into the appropriate
columns in data.b.

How can I do this?

Thanks for you help.
