I am currently being defeated by grep. I am attempting to determine the value
of the last letter of a character string.
An example of my data set is shown below. Regarding the codes, I would like to
identify the value of the last character and then take the appropriate action,
e.g.
If the value is L then label UL rating XXX
It the value is F then label UL rating YYY
...
I assume it will be something like the following:
grep("last letter", HousesWithCodes$Codes)
Thanks again for any insights.
BuildYear<-c(1980, 1985, 1975, 1990, 1980)
SqrFootage<-c(1500, 1650, 1500, 2000, 1450)
Exterior<-c("Brick", "Stone", "Siding", "Brick", "Siding")
SubdivisionHouses<-data.frame(BuildYear, SqrFootage, Exterior)
Year<-c(1980, 1985, 1975, 1990, 1977, 1986)
Codes<-c("G2G1L", "G5L1F", "K1Y2G", "G4B1B", "K1N3B", "K3M4X")
BuildingCodes<-data.frame(Year, Codes)
HousesWithCodes<-merge(SubdivisionHouses, BuildingCodes, by.x="BuildYear",
by.y="Year")
