Dear R-help list,

Apologies. I am trying to convert one table to another. It feels that it should be a very straightforward answer with a single (or two) commands with the right extensions, but I really can't figure this out right now. I have several hundred pheno factors actually, so manually doing this line by line
is not an option.

My original table is approximately like this :

  ID         pheno
1   A Breast Cancer
2   A  Appendicitis
3   A  Microcephaly
4   B        Polyps
5   B        Autism
6   C        Autism
7   D Breast Cancer
8   D        Polyps
9   D  Appendicitis
10  E Breast Cancer


What I want is this :
ID Breast Cancer Appendicitis Microcephaly Polyps Autism A 1 1 1 B 1
1  C   1  D 1  1  E 1


On the off-chance, as it were, that you really want what comes across after html posting...

c("ID", data$pheno, unlist(sapply(1:length(tid), function(x) c(names(tid[x]), rep(1, tid[[x]])))) )

 [1] "ID"             "Breast\nCancer" "Appendicitis"   "Microcephaly"
[5] "Polyps" "Autism" "Autism" "Breast \nCancer"
 [9] "Polyps"         "Appendicitis"   "Breast Cancer"  "A"
[13] "1"              "1"              "1"              "B"
[17] "1"              "1"              "C"              "1"
[21] "D"              "1"              "1"              "1"
[25] "E"              "1"

The data is here
data <-
data.frame(ID=c(rep("A",3),rep("B",2),rep("C",1),rep("D",3),rep("E", 1)),
pheno=c("Breast
Cancer ","Appendicitis","Microcephaly","Polyps","Autism","Autism","Breast
Cancer","Polyps","Appendicitis","Breast Cancer"))

Thank you very much! Many apologies.
