R users,
I have df like this
a <- data.frame( indx = 1:20,
var1 = rep(c("I20", "I40", "A50", "B60"), each=5),
var1_lab= rep(c("cat", "dog", "mouse", "horse"), each=5),
var2 = rep(c("B20", "X40", "D50", "G60"), each=5),
var2_lab= rep(c("car", "bicycle", "train", "bus"), each=5))
str(a)
I'd like to create new variables by combining "varX" and "varX_lab" like this:
a$var1_new <- factor(paste(a$var1, a$var1_lab, sep=": "))
a$var2_new <- factor(paste(a$var2, a$var2_lab, sep=": "))
a
But, in the real world, I have multiple df:s and many of variables
named by the same manner. Is there a possibility to create a function
which combines these variables and creates new ones into the same df
using "varX" as an identifier?
Many thanks,
Lauri
