Hello, I'm looking for what I'm sure is a quick answer. I'm working with a data set that looks like this:
Week Game.ID VTm VPts HTm HPts Differential HomeWin 1 1 NFL_20050908_OAK@NE OAK 20 NE 30 10 FALSE 2 1 NFL_20050911_ARI@NYG ARI 19 NYG 42 23 FALSE 3 1 NFL_20050911_CHI@WAS CHI 7 WAS 9 2 FALSE 4 1 NFL_20050911_CIN@CLE CIN 27 CLE 13 -14 FALSE 5 1 NFL_20050911_DAL@SD DAL 28 SD 24 -4 FALSE 6 1 NFL_20050911_DEN@MIA DEN 10 MIA 34 24 FALSE NFL data. I want to pair each team with the points they received at home and away and create another table showing this. I know it's easy to do, but all the methods I am coming up with involve doing each team individually via a for loop that searches for [i,5]=="NE", [i,5]=="NYG". I would then use the same method to pair the same team code ("NYG" or "NE") with VPTs when it's Visiting. Thanks for the help. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/scanning-a-data-set-for-strings-tp4602953.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
