Hi,
I have a matrix of unique elements (strings) like v1 and a vector which
contains replicated values of the 2nd column of the first matrix.
v1 = cbind(c("1","2","3"),c("a","b","c"))
v2 = c(rep("a",5), rep("c",10), rep("b",3))
How can I add a column to v2 that contains the values of the first column of
the first matrix v1 where the 2nd column of v1 matches the values of v2? Do I
need to grep by looping over the nrow of v1 which is very time consuming or is
there a better solution?
the results should be the same as
v3=rbind( c(rep("a",5), rep("c",10), rep("b",3)), c(rep("1",5), rep("3",10),
rep("2",3)))
I'd try
t(merge(data.frame(V2=v2), as.data.frame(v1)))
Best,
