I suspect that this is simple, but thanks in advance for any advice... I have a dataframe, t2:
V1 V2 aaa 3 aaaa 4 aaaaaa 6 a 1 aa 2 V2 is the length of the string in V1 using nchar(as.character(t1$V1)) I'd like to create a third column, that contains a string of the length of V2, but containing an alternate text, e.g. V1 V2 V3 aaa 3 bbb aaaa 4 bbbb aaaaaa 6 bbbbbb a 1 b aa 2 bb or V1 V2 V3 aaa 3 bad aaaa 4 badb aaaaaa 6 badbad a 1 b aa 2 ba Suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Create-new-string-of-same-length-as-entry-in-dataframe-tp3058232p3058232.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
