David is right, but it's trivial if x is a factor (which is the
default when you create character columns in a data frame).
(Note also how to use rep() properly -- read the docs: ?rep)
x <- factor(rep(LETTERS[1:3],e=3))
x
[1] A A A B B B C C C
Levels: A B C
levels(x) <- 1:3
x
[1] 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3
Hi,
library(car)
recode(x,"'x'=1;'y'=2;'z'=3")
#[1] 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
#or
as.numeric(factor(x))
#[1] 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
A.K.

Yes, I caught my error once I posted it - I was fiddling with match prior
to hammering down with merge but your solution is much better. Thank you.

That fairly tortured compare
I always think that replying to your own r-help feels silly but it's good
to close these things out.
here's my hack solution:
x1<-merge(data.frame(A=x),data.frame(A=c('x','y','z'),B=c(1,2,2)),by='A')[,2]
Well that works and should for my more complex situation. If anyone has
something a little
