R Equivalent of SPSS "Split File" and "AutoRecode"

The code is so long... Why not store the labels in another file and
read them into a vector, then assign labels to columns in a loop?

To split file means you have to do the same procedure on each subset
of the data - this is easy in R: what you need are the splitting
variable and corresponding conditions, then apply your functions to
the subset of data in a loop (or use sapply(), ...)

For autorecode, it is nothing but factor() in R!

Yihui
