[R] Question about range of letters
Hello, I have a column with a bunch of letters. I would like to keep some of these letters (A,C,D,L) and turn the rest into 'X'. I have tried using ifelse with '|' in between the argument but it didn't work nor did 4 separate ifelse statements. Example, I currently have: Letters A B C D E I would like to have: Letters A X C D X Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

try:
let = sample(LETTERS[1:5],100,replace=TRUE)
let
let1 = ifelse(let %in% c('A','C','D'),let,'X')
let1
