Hi All, I have 4000 case which have string variables in them, i want to do some fuzzy matching and create a new variable that is of the same length with 0 or 1's if i use the code test<- agrep("web Klick",ETC$Exposure.Type , max = 2, ignore.case = TRUE) it works but i get> length(test)[1] 3127 This returns the case values that do match, can someone tell me how to match this on the dataset (ETC) that i have as 1 and 0 ?
