Hi all, Here is what I am trying to do. It doesn't seem like a complex command but I am a beginner at R.
Lets say I have this variable: test$v1 = rep(c("ACAM2343", "ACAM3838", "ACPP2598", "ACPA8355", "DEAM234", "DEPA38485"), each = 10) 1. if test$v1 character string contains "PP" or "PA" set test$v2 value to "WIN". Alternatively, 2. if test$v1 character 3 and 4 equal "A" and M", set test$v2 to "LOSE". Please help!
