just merge the data.frames back together.

use merge or cbind()

cbind will be easier

DF1 <- data.frame(x,y,z)
DF2 <-data.frame(DF1$x) # copy a column
then you added columns to DF2

just put them back together

DF3 <-cbind(DF2,DF1$y,DF$z)

if you spend more time with R you will be able to do things like this
elegantly, but for
now This way will work and you will learn a bit about R.

As for counting instances of a string, I might suggest looking at the table
command

k <- c( "all", "but","all")
> table(k)
k
all but
  2   1

So you can do a table for each column in your dataframe
