Hi,
I'm trying to copy the first row of one data frame to another. This is the
statement I am using :

df2[1,]<-df1[1,];

I have printed them out separately:
df1[1,] = A C D E F
But after copying:
df2[1,] = 96 29 88 122 68

Why isn't it copying? They are both data frames, and "as.character" isn't
working either.

Thanks for your input :)

I.. did?
Here is the whole thing:

Output dataframe, df2: (NA is because I haven't filled those cells in yet,
but they will have numeric values)
1462696298812268108381201091254781626868918410126662NANANANANANANANANANANANA
NANANANANANANANANA

Input dataframe, df1:
1GENEACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY2amt:Amet_00012902334171612422939635201325342732312
Not good enough.

Use dput(head(df1)) and dput(head(df2))
And paste the result in the message.

Berend.
Hi,
set.seed(25)
?df1<- as.data.frame(matrix(sample(LETTERS[1:10],20,replace=TRUE),ncol=5),stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
?df1
#? V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
#1? E? B? A? J? F
#2? G? J? C? F? H
#3? B? G? D? G? E
#4? I? D? D? B? H
?str(df1)
#'data.frame':??? 4 obs. of? 5 variables:
# $ V1: chr? "E" "G" "B" "I"
# $ V2: chr? "B" "J" "G" "D"
# $ V3: chr? "A" "C" "D" "D"
# $ V4: chr? "J" "F" "G" "B"
# $ V5: chr? "F" "H" "E" "H"

?df2<-as.data.frame(matrix(NA,ncol=5,nrow=3))
?df2[1,]<-df1[1,]

?df2[1,]
#? V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
#1? E? B? A? J? F
A.K.
