Hi,

Looking at a large data set with many factors.

I would like to expand each factor variable into multiple new variables for 
each level. (0,1) coding.

My first though was just to code a big nasty loop, to take each level and cbind 
a column onto my data set.  But, that seems painful.  There must be a better 
way.

Is there an "easy" way to do this in R?

(Note, I don't want to internally represent the levels in the data set, but 
physically have new columns for each level with a binary indicator.)

Thanks!
