Hi All, I am reading a file as follow,
mydat <- read.table(textConnection("Col1 Col2 col3 Z2 NA NA Z3 X1 NA Z4 Y1 W1"),header = TRUE) 1. "NA" are missing should be replace by 0 2. value that are in COl2 and Col3 should be included in col1 before they appear in col2 and col3. So the output data looks like as follow, X1 0 0 Y1 0 0 W1 0 0 Z2 0 0 Z3 X1 0 Z4 Y1 W1 Thank you in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
