Hello,

I would like to select cases using multiple logical operations (e.g. X or Y or Z) without having to repeat the dataframe$variable within the subscript. My working code (with a single logical operator) currently looks like this:

dataframe$newvariable[data$oldvariable=="X"]<-"group1"

I thought this next line of code might do what I wanted, but it doesn't:

dataframe$newvariable[data$oldvariable=="X" | "Y" | "Z"]<-"group1"

I'd appreciate any suggestions. I've tried playing around with grep, but can't make it work.

Thanks! Mark
