OK, seems like nobody understood my question ;-) Let's make another example:
I have three variables: data$male and data$female and data$transsexuals All the three of them contain the values 0 and 1. Now I'd like to create another variable data$sex. Now in all cases where data$female==1 the variable data$sex should be set to 'female', all in all cases where data$male==1 the variable data$sex should be set to 'male' and so on... Thank you!
