Hello, I have a following dataframe with many rows. data.frame(match.start=c(5,10,100,200),range.coordinates=c("1000-1050","1500-1555","5000-5050,6000-6180","100-150,200-260,600-900"))
match.start range.coordinates 5 1000-1050 10 1500-1555 100 5000-5050,6000-6180 200 100-150,200-260,600-900 I want to test for each row element in column "match.start" (e.g. 100 on 3rd row) if it is less than the accumulated range (e.g. for 5000-5050, 6000-6180, the accumulated range is: 50, 230), then update the match start as 6000+ (100-50) = 6050. The result is put on third column. match.start range.coordinates match.start.updated 5 1000-1050 1005 10 1500-1555 1510 100 5000-5050,6000-6180 6050 200 100-150,200-260,600-900 690 Many thanks.
