Hi, It works for me too. When I had reshape and reshape2 both loaded, I had the same problem.
library(reshape2) tmp <- melt(smiths, id.vars=1:2, measure.vars=c("age","weight","height"), variable.name="myvars", value.name="myvals" ) names(tmp) [1] "subject" "time" "myvars" "myvals" #Now with reshape loaded. > library(reshape) Loading required package: plyr Attaching package: ‘reshape’ The following object(s) are masked from ‘package:plyr’: rename, round_any The following object(s) are masked from ‘package:reshape2’: colsplit, melt, recast tmp <- melt(smiths, id.vars=1:2, measure.vars=c("age","weight","height"), variable.name="myvars", value.name="myvals" ) > names(tmp) [1] "subject" "time" "variable" "value" A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: darnold <dwarnol...@suddenlink.net> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2012 7:06 PM Subject: [R] rhsape2 bug? All, I believe I am running the latest version of rshape2 (1.2.1). But this code: library(reshape2) tmp <- melt(smiths, id.vars=1:2, measure.vars=c("age","weight","height"), variable.name="myvars", value.name="myvals" ) names(tmp) Produces this output: > names(tmp) [1] "subject" "time" "variable" "value" So you can see that these lines of code don't work: variable.name="myvars", value.name="myvals" Is this a bug?
