One way would be
df$id[match(v,df$Name)]

This must be easy to do.....
I have a vector and a lookup data.frame:
v
[1] "5" "234" "234" "42-43" "234" "42-43" "234" "234"
"42-43" "234" "5" "234" "234" "5" "234" "234" "5" "234"
"234"
df
id Name
1 5 12-13
2 2 234
3 4 42-43
4 1 5
How can I simply substitute the values in vector v with the corresponding id
value from lookup table df? I'd expect the following output:
v
[1] "1" "2" "2" "4" "2" "4" "2" "2" "4" "2" "1" "2" "2" "1" "2" "2" "1" "2" "2" Cheers, Nathan -- -------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Nathan S.
