thanks for the great help! But I have one additional question (hope I can work alone then);
I want to replace the values of a vector, like this: x <- c(1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,1) x[x==1] <- c(12) x[x==2] <- c(13) x[x==3] <- c(17) x[x==4] <- c(20) x[x==5] <- c(22) is there a way to do that just in one or two code lines? I tried x[x == c(1:5)] <- c(12,13,17,20,22) but that makes something totally different ... thanks for any help! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
