[Julien Beguin]

I forgot to mention that I tried with "merge" and "join" (package analogue)
without success...

> # data frame 2
> Id2 <- c(1,2,3,3)
> Habit2 <- c('a','b','d','d')
> Id02 <- paste(Id2, Habit2,sep=".")
> Area <- c(10,2,3,5)
> data2 <- data.frame(cbind(Id02, Area))

> result <- data.frame(cbind(Id01, Area2))
