I wonder if the 'sep' argument in reshape() is being ignored unintentionally:
## From example(reshape) df <- data.frame(id=rep(1:4,rep(2,4)), visit=I(rep(c("Before","After"),4)), x=rnorm(4), y=runif(4)) reshape(df, timevar="visit", idvar="id", direction="wide", sep = "_") id x.Before y.Before x.After y.After 1 1 0.773 0.293 -0.021 0.658 3 2 -0.518 0.351 -0.623 0.946 5 3 0.773 0.293 -0.021 0.658 7 4 -0.518 0.351 -0.623 0.946 Is this more of the intended result when 'sep = "_"'? id x_Before y_Before x_After y_After 1 1 0.773 0.293 -0.021 0.658 3 2 -0.518 0.351 -0.623 0.946 5 3 0.773 0.293 -0.021 0.658 7 4 -0.518 0.351 -0.623 0.946 Thanks, Stephen -- Rochester, Minn.
