Hello, I have a data.frame called spec containing data about samples. But I don't have these data for all my samples. So if I have data (that is code of the sample is in spec$Code), I would like to assign data1 to the variable m. If I don't have this data, I would like to assign 1 to m.
I tried this : m<-spec$data1[spec$Code==code]*(code %in%specmodules$Code) + 1*(!code %in% specmodules$Code) It works when I have the data but if it is not the case I get numeric(0) instead of 1. I finally use the following command. It works but I'm sure there is a more elegant way. if (code %in%spec$Code) m<-spec$data1[spec$Code==code] else m<-1 Is there a way to avoid an if-test ? Thanks for your help, Have a good day, Ptit Bleu. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/nice-way-to-find-or-not-a-value-%28problem-with-numeric%280%29%29-tp22325406p22325406.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.
