Hello

Hello

I have a data frame, x, holding 5 persons answering the question which cars they have used:

# the data frame
x <- as.data.frame(
  matrix(
    c('BMW', '', '',
      'Mercedes', 'VW', '',
      'Skoda', 'VW', 'BMW',
      '', '', '',
      'VW', 'Skoda', ''
    ),
    ncol=3,
    dimnames=list(
      NULL,
      paste( 'v', 1:3, sep='' )
    )
  )
)

How do I transform this data frame to a data frame stating whether they have used the presented car:

   BMW  Mercedes  VW  Skoda
1  T    F         F   F
2  F    T         T   F
3  T    F         T   T
4  F    F         F   F
5  F    F         T   T

My idea was to first find all levels by:

v <- unique(unlist(lapply(x, levels)))

But then I am stuck.

Thanks for help, *S*
