I have a vector that has 1,974 elements and each element is one of the following (B, F, N, Y). How do I recreate that vector accept in the place of N put 0 and in the place of B, F or Y put a 1? Thanks, Jacob [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
I think you want ifelse(x=='N',0,1)> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch > [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Davis, > Jacob B. > Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 4:46 PM > To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] Vector Manipulation > > I have a vector that has 1,974 elements and each element is > one of the following (B, F, N, Y).

try the following:
x <- c("B", "F", "N", "Y")
################
y <- numeric(length(x))
y[x != "N"] <- 1
y
I hope it helps.
