[R] Combining two data frames

[Adrian Johnson]

Hi:
Appreciate if I could get some help.

I have two data frames.

I want to combine these two dfs bases on first column.


df1 :

Subject    G1     G2    G3

A              10     1       0

B              20      2        20


df2:

Subject     m1    m2   m3

A              20      9     30

B                0      1    10


Resulting df :

Subject        G1    G2   G3     m1   m2  m3
A                  10      1    0       20     9    30
B                   20      2  20      0       1   10


Sometimes subjects in both df don't match.  since the data is large,
if I do cbind I am not sure about order and common subjects.



Thanks a lot for your help.


Following is dput of real data:


df1 <- structure(list(Subject = c("A-04-1332", "A-04-1336", "A-04-1337",
