Why introduce the 'x2'?   x1[...] <- 0 alters x1 in place and I think that
altered x1 is what you want.

You asked why x2 was zero.  The value of the expression
    f(a) <- b
and assignments are processed right to left so
    x2 <- x[!is.na(x1)] <- 0
is equivalent to
    x[!is.na(x1)] <- 0
    x2 <- 0

That's not right in general, is it?  I'd think that should be

    x[!is.na(x1)] <- 0
    x2 <- x1

Of course, in this example, x1 is 0, so it gives the same answer.

Thank you Jim

I wanted a final data frame  after replacing the NA's to "0"

x1 =  rbind(unique(preval),mydat)
x2 <- x1[is.na(x1)] <- 0
x2
  but I got this,

[1] 0

why I am getting this?

Hi Val,
Try this:

preval<-data.frame(Col1=unique(unlist(mydat[,c("Col2","col3")]))[-1],
  Col2=NA,col3=NA)
rbind(preval,mydat)

Hi All,

I am reading a file as follow,

mydat <- read.table(textConnection("Col1 Col2 col3
Z2 NA NA
Z3 X1 NA
Z4 Y1 W1"),header = TRUE)

1. "NA" are   missing  should be replace by 0
2.  value that are in COl2 and Col3  should be included  in col1 before
they appear
in col2 and col3. So the output data looks like as follow,

X1  0  0
Y1  0  0
W1  0  0
Z2  0  0
Z3 X1  0
Z4 Y1 W1

Thank you in advance
