Hello,

One approach is using "ifelse":

> X <- data.frame(a=c(1,1,1,1,1,1), 
b=c(TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE), c=c(2,2,2,2,2,2))
> X
   a     b c
1 1  TRUE 2
2 1  TRUE 2
3 1 FALSE 2
4 1 FALSE 2
5 1 FALSE 2
6 1  TRUE 2
>
> X <- within(X, a <- ifelse(b==TRUE, c, a))
> X
   a     b c
1 2  TRUE 2
2 2  TRUE 2
3 1 FALSE 2
4 1 FALSE 2
5 1 FALSE 2
6 2  TRUE 2

Hope this helps,
Pascal
