Just use the logical operators. Counts <- c(1,0,21,2,0,0,234,2,0) Counts > 0 1 *(Counts > 0)

Is there a simple built-in function? or do I have do to it with a replaceement funciton using IF x > 0 THEN 1 etc.? /johannes -- Jetzt informieren: http://mobile.1und1.de/?ac=OM.PW.PW003K20328T7073a ______________________________________________ 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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * D I S C L A I M E R * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dit bericht en eventuele bijlagen geven enkel de visie van de schrijver weer en binden het INBO onder geen enkel beding, zolang dit bericht niet bevestigd is door een geldig ondertekend document.
