One way:

g= paste(f1,f2,f3,f4)
table(g)

I'd go for

g <- interaction(f1,f2,f3,f4, drop=TRUE)
table(g)

which is essentially the same thing.

Hi,

I have the following table data:

f1, f2, f3, f4.

I want to compute the counts of unique combinations of f1-f4. In SQL I would
just write:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <table> GROUP BY f1, f2, ..,f4.

How to do this in R?

Thanks,

Nick
