# Generate data
universe <- c(0, 0.17, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 3, 4)
prob     <- c(94, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)/1000
tab <- list(NULL)
for(i in 1:6){  tab[[i]] <- table(sample(universe, 218, prob=prob,
rep=TRUE)) }

# Re-table 
all <- unique(unlist(sapply(tab, function(x) names(x))))
retab <- t(sapply( tab, function(x) table( factor( rep( rownames(x), x)
, levels=all ))))

The key is to have the exactly the same names (stored in object all) in
all table and sapply will simplify it.

Uwe suggestion is probably best if you can regenerate the data.

Regards, Adai.
