You haven't actually answered John's question as to the type of analysis you plan to do. It still looks from here like you should be using factor data rather than numeric, but since you are not being clear we cannot give specifics as to how to proceed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

Hi Jeff, I thought I answered. Yes I was not clear about it. The further analysis will no be done by R. It is another software that will not accept a character response variable. Why R is so complicated to do that. If it is SAS then I can do it on one statement. .

Rolf gave you two ways. There are others. They all misrepresent the data (there are only two sexes but you are effectively acting as if there are three); hence the inquisition in hopes of diverting you to a more correct method of analysis. However, this is not the support forum for whatever other software you plan to proceed with so never mind. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

How can I send it to a a file?There are several ways to do this; one is mydata <- within(mydata, sex1 <- ifelse(is.na(sex), 0, ifelse(sex == "M", 1, 2))) write.table(mydata, "mydata.txt", quote=FALSE, row.names=FALSE) This assumes that you want a space-separated data file with variable names but not case names. A couple of more general points: (1) Since you originally asked the question on the r-help list, I've cc'd this response to the list. (2) If you're going to use R beyond this one application, you'll probably want to learn some more about it.

Thank you Professor John, After I clicked the send button, I tried and the following also worked for me. mydata$sex1 <- ifelse(is.na(mydata$sex), 0, ifelse(mydata$sex == "M", 1, 2))) Thank you all again!
