[R] ifelse and wildcard matching

[Jennifer Brea]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new variable using the following code:

A$B2<-ifelse(A$B %in% "EDUCATION","EDUCATION",NA)

The problem is, I want the new variable to be labeled "EDUCATION" if the 
original *contains* "EDUCATION", not of it is an exact match.  I've done 
a lot of searching on wild cards and the like, and the only function 
I've found that does this kind of matching is grep(), which I don't 
think I can use here, since it subsets the original data.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
