Try something like this:
x <- c(1,2,6,8,13,0,5,10, runif(10) * 100) tmp <- x %/% 5 + 1 bin.names <- paste((0:19) * 5, (1:20) * 5, sep="-") data.frame(Start = x, Binned_Start = bin.names[tmp]) This assumes you want (eg.) 5 in the 5-10 bin, not the 0-5 bin. You may also want to make Binned_Start into a factor rather than a character vector. HTH, Mike.
