Replace values in atomic vectors

Description

Replace values in atomic vectors

Usage

mapValues(x, from, to, regex = FALSE, ignore.case = FALSE, perl = FALSE,
  fixed = FALSE)

Arguments

x

[atomic]
Atomic vector. If x is a factor, all replacements work on the levels.
from

[atomic]
Atomic vector with values to replace, same length as to.
to

[atomic]
Atomic vector with replacements, same length as from.
regex

[logical]
Use regular expression matching? Default is FALSE.
ignore.case

[logical]
Argument passed to gsub.
perl

[logical]
Argument passed to gsub.
fixed

[logical]
Argument passed to gsub.

Details

Replaces values specified in from with values in to. Regular expression matching can be enabled which calls gsub iteratively on x to replace all patterns in from with replacements in to.

Value

[atomic].

Examples

# replace integers
x = 1:5
mapValues(x, c(2, 3), c(99, 100))

# replace factor levels using regex matching
x = factor(c("aab", "aba", "baa"))
mapValues(x, "a.a", "zzz", regex = TRUE)
