?dat1$col2<-ifelse(dat1$col1=="high",dat1$col2<-"H",ifelse(dat1$col1=="Neutral",dat1$col2<-"N","L"))

Subject: [R] if else elseif for data frames
Hi all,
It seems like I cannot use normal 'if' for data frames. What would be the
best way to do the following.
if data$col1='high'
? ? data$col2='H'
else if data$col1='Neutral'
? ? data$col2='N'
else if data$col='low'
? data$col2='L'
else
? #chuch a warning?
Note that col2 was not an existing column and was newly assigned for this
task.
Thanks,
Sachin
