concatenate data frame

hi all

Here is a small part of my code:

tab_tmp<-tab[1:(no[off_set[i-1]+1]+(no[off_set[i]+1]-no[off_set[i-1]+1])),length(tab)];

tab_tmp1<-tab[(no[off_set[i-1]+1]+(no[off_set[i]+1]-no[off_set[i-1]+1])):length(TotalFillTimeHours),length(tab)];

tab<-c(tab_tmp,tab_tmp1);
attach(tab);

Here is the output:
Error in attach(tab) : attach only works for lists and data frames
Execution halted


How do i concatenate them in order to keep the data frame structure?


thks for your help

Guillaume,

I assume that 'tab' is a data frame and that, for some
unspecified reason, you want to get two subsets of the last
column of tab, overlapping one case, and coercing the final
result to a data frame. If that is correct, then

as.data.frame(c(tab_tmp, tab_tmp1))

will give you a data frame. Alternatively, check out the
'drop =' argument to '[.data.frame' and then rbind your
pieces.

Having no idea what the object "no" is, or what the object "off_set" 
is, it is difficult to understand what you are trying to do. Perhaps 
if you substituted simple numbers in the example, such as

    tab[ 1:5, 15]

it would be easier to understand.

Perhaps what you really want is cbind() or rbind(), not c().

Probably, it would be better to use ncol(tab) rather than length(tab).
