Here's my effort. Maybe a bit easier to digest? Only one *apply so probably more efficient. function(x=c(0,0,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,1,1)) { d <- diff(c(0,x,0)) starts <- which(d == 1) ends <- which(d == -1) x[x == 1] <- unlist(lapply(ends - starts, function(n) 1:n)) x } Dan > > HTH > > --- > Vincent Goulet, Associate Professor > École d'actuariat > Université Laval, Québec > [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
