Dear List,

I have this column/vector:

vec <- c("function", "missing", "string")

and want to compute a second column/vector:
- value if the pattern "unc" is found: 1
- value if the pattern "iss" is found: 2
- value if none of the patterns is found: 0

This should be the result:
> vec2
[1] 1 2 0

Any help? Tried it with grep, but the output is not as long as vec, so I'm lost a bit here.

Thanks,
Stefan
