numbers1<-c(1,2,3,4,11,12) numbers2<-c(5,6,7,8,9,10) df1$colA[df1$colA%in%numbers1]<-"invierno" df1$colA[df1$colA%in%numbers2]<-"verano" head(df1,10) colA 1 27 2 38 3 58 4 91 5 21 6 90 7 95 8 67 9 63 10 verano A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dominic Roye <dominic.r...@gmail.com> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2012 3:10 PM Subject: [R] replace funcion Hello everybody, I would like to replace or recode a list of numbers between 1 and 12 (total 100). I have tried to make it with recode, but i have two types of replacements. For 1,2,3,4,11,12 => invierno and for 5,6,7,8,9 and 10 => verano. recode(datos.mx1[,7], "1='invierno'; 2='invierno'; 3='invierno';4='invierno';11='invierno';12='invierno'") #with this command it works perfectly, but i have only one part recode(datos.mx1[,7], "'5'='verano'; '6'='verano'; '7'='verano';'8'='verano';'9'='verano';'10'='verano'") #when i run this command it works also fine, but it clears the first change above. I had previously tried it with the if-command, but it doesn't work. I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much.
