Sure, here you go structure(list(V1 = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), .Label = "DF", class = "factor"), V2 = c(12L, 12L, 14L, 15L), V3 = structure(c(4L, 3L, 2L, 1L), .Label = c("This", "This is", "This is an", "This is an example" ), class = "factor"), V4 = c(1L, 1232L, 12334L, 23L), V5 = structure(1:4, .Label = c("This", "This is", "This is an", "This is an example"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("V1", "V2", "V3", "V4", "V5"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -4L))
