[External] Re: how to replace values in a named vector
I can't understand non-words with that many letters. I think this is what you are looking for:
tmp <- c(A="a",B="b",C="c",D="d") names(tmp)
[1] "A" "B" "C" "D"
tmp
A B C D "a" "b" "c" "d"
## change values of B and C to "x" and "y"
names(tmp) %in% c("B","C")
[1] FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE
tmp[names(tmp) %in% c("B","C")]
B C "b" "c"
tmp[names(tmp) %in% c("B","C")] <- c("x","y")
tmp
A B C D "a" "x" "y" "d"
If not, please ask the question again with simpler-appearing vectors and show us what you would like the answer to be.

sorry not replace with NA but with empty string for a name, for example for example this:
geneSymbol["Ku8QhfS0n_hIOABXuE"]
Ku8QhfS0n_hIOABXuE
"MACC1"
would go when I subject it to
geneSymbol["Ku8QhfS0n_hIOABXuE"]

Hello, I have a vector like this:
head(geneSymbol)
Ku8QhfS0n_hIOABXuE Bx496XsFXiAlj.Eaeo W38p0ogk.wIBVRXllY
QIBkqIS9LR5DfTlTS8 BZKiEvS0eQ305U0v34 6TheVd.HiE1UF3lX6g
"MACC1" "GGACT" "A4GALT"
"NPSR1-AS1" "NPSR1-AS1" "AAAS"
it has around 15000 entries. How do I replace all values with NA
expect these that are named like this:
geneSymbol[c("0lQ1XozriVZTn.PezY","uaeFiCdegrnWFijF_s","ZOluqaxSe3ndekoNng","912ny6eCHjnlY2XSCU","odF3XHR8CVl4SAUaUQ")]
geneSymbol[c("0lQ1XozriVZTn.PezY","uaeFiCdegrnWFijF_s","ZOluqaxSe3ndekoNng","912ny6eCHjnlY2XSCU","odF3XHR8CVl4SAUaUQ")]
0lQ1XozriVZTn.PezY uaeFiCdegrnWFijF_s ZOluqaxSe3ndekoNng
912ny6eCHjnlY2XSCU odF3XHR8CVl4SAUaUQ
"FLCN" "FLCN" "FLCN"
"UCA1" "IL1B"
Thanks
