Hi everyone,
I am currently working with a very large data set. It is data collected a
few times a day, so there are repeated titles in the data set. I want to
assign an id number to each different title and enter this information in a
directory that I can access whenever I am working with the data.
An example of a data I am workin with follows:
1 title A
2 title C
3 title B
1 title A
2 title B
3 title C
1 title D
2 title A
3 title C
1 title B
2 title A
3 title C
What I have tried thus far is for loops.
r<-matrix(x[,1])
t<-matrix(x[,2])
for(i in 1:length(t)) {
for(k in 1:length(r)) {
z = matrix(c(i,t))
A = "Article A"
for(j in 1:length(z)){
if(B=="Article A")
else{enter article in z}
}
}
This is of course giving me a lot of errors. I just have no idea where to go
with this. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can go from here to create
my directory?
I appreciate all your help.
Thank you in advance.

Hmmm, in fact I do not understand what you are going to do. Can you tell us what the result of your code should look like?

Sorry, I did forget to add what it is I want to get. I wish to get a result like the following: Legend: ID Title 1 Article A 2 Article B 3 Article C 4 Article D ... i Article "N" -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Creating-a-directory-for-my-data-tp22448335p22455535.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
