I want to change the type to factor of all variables in a data frame whose names match a certain pattern. So here I am trying to change the type to factor of all variables whose name begins with namestub in the dataframe df. attach(df)sapply(grep(glob2rx("namestub*"),names(df)),as.factor) But this doesn't work since >levels(df$namestub1)NULL
