Hi Yosub,
if "dat" is your data frame, try something like (untested):
dat$code[!dat$code %in% c("8210", "8310", "9190")] <- "others"
the general idea being create a logical vector of codes that match the
three you want, use "!" to negate this (so you are getting all codes
NOT in the ones you want), and then use this to selectively assign
"others".
For documentation, see
?match
?Logic
Hope this helps,
Josh
