Hi,
consider the following two dataframes:
x1=c("232","3454","3455","342","13")
x2=c("1","1","1","0","0")
data1=data.frame(x1,x2)

y1=c("232","232","3454","3454","3455","342","13","13","13","13")
y2=c("E1","F3","F5","E1","E2","H4","F8","G3","E1","H2")
data2=data.frame(y1,y2)

I need a new column in dataframe data1 (x3), which is either 0 or 1 depending if the value "E1" in y2 of data2 is true while x1=y1. The
result
of data1 should look like this:
 x1     x2 x3
1 232   1   1
2 3454 1   1
3 3455 1   0
4 342   0   0
5 13     0   1

I think a SQL command could help me but I am too inexperienced with it
to
get there.


Try this:

library(sqldf)
sqldf("select x1, x2, max(y2 = 'E1') x3 from data1 d1 left join data2 d2
on (x1 = y1) group by x1, x2 order by d1.rowid")

  x1 x2 x3
1  232  1  1
2 3454  1  1
3 3455  1  0
4  342  0  0
5   13  0  1


snipped Gabor's sig

That works pretty cool but I need to automate this a bit more. Consider
the
following example:

list1=c("A01","B04","A64","G84","F19")

x1=c("232","3454","3455","342","13")
x2=c("1","1","1","0","0")
data1=data.frame(x1,x2)

y1=c("232","232","3454","3454","3455","342","13","13","13","13")
y2=c("E13","B04","F19","A64","E22","H44","F68","G84","F19","A01")
data2=data.frame(y1,y2)

I want now to creat a loop, which creates for every value in list1 a new
binary variable in data1. Result should look like:
x1      x2      A01     B04     A64     G84     F19
232     1       0       1       0       0       0
3454    1       0       0       1       0       1
3455    1       0       0       0       0       0
342     0       0       0       0       0       0
13      0       1       0       0       1       1

Loops!?! We don't nee no steenking loops!

xtb <-  with(data2, table(y1,y2))
cbind(data1, xtb[match(data1$x1, rownames(xtb)), ] )
      x1 x2 A01 A64 B04 E13 E22 F19 F68 G84 H44
232   232  1   0   0   1   1   0   0   0   0   0
3454 3454  1   0   1   0   0   0   1   0   0   0
3455 3455  1   0   0   0   0   1   0   0   0   0
342   342  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   1
13     13  0   1   0   0   0   0   1   1   1   0

I am guessing that you were to ... er, busy? ... to complete the table?

Thanks a lot! Pretty simple. I am so much used to SQLDF right now.

So how would you handle more complicated strings like that:
y1=c("232","232", "232", "3454","3454","3455","342","13","13","13","13")
y2=c("E13","B04 A01 F19","B04","F19","A64 G84 A05","E22","H44
C35","F68","G84","F19","A01")
data2=data.frame(y1,y2)

Where you want to extract for instance all "A01" from the strings?

I think you need either to explain what you want in more words of the English language or to offer an example of the desired output. I suspect you did not want something as simple as this:

> A01.instances <- grep("A01" , data2$y2)
> A01.instances
[1]  2 11
> data2[A01.instances, ]
    y1          y2
2  232 B04 A01 F19
11  13         A01

Or maybe you did?
