Thank you again Pikal and Bert. Using lapply, as Bert suggested, was the first thing that i thought of dealing with this question and was mentioned in my original posting. I just did not know how to implement it to get the results/form i want. Below is what i did but could not get it to give me the results as i want which was given on Pikal's answer.
nlist <- list(df1$col2,df2$col2, df3$col2) lapply(nlist, function(x) table(x)) [[1]] x aa bb cc dd 2 1 1 1 [[2]] x bb cc 3 1 [[3]] x aa 2 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
