[R] Combining levels

[arun]

Hi,
May be this helps:

Data1<-read.table(text='
TYPE                                                VALUE
"Residential-future"                                2.2
"Open space-managed"                        1.4
"Mixed use"                                           5.2
"Residential-existing"                            4.2
"Residential-existing"                            7.1
"Residential-future"                               5.2
"Residential-existing"                            1.2
"mixed use"                                            4.5
',sep="",header=TRUE)


library(reshape)

 Data1[,1]<-combine_factor(Data1[,1],c(2,2,3,4,5))


levels(Data1[,1])
#[1] "Mixed use"            "Open space-managed"   "Residential-existing"
#[4] "Residential-future"  
Data1[,1]
#[1] Residential-future   Open space-managed   Mixed use           
#[4] Residential-existing Residential-existing Residential-future  
#[7] Residential-existing Mixed use           
#4 Levels: Mixed use Open space-managed ... Residential-future

Sorry, this is what it should be:

DATA=

TYPE                                                VALUE
Residential - future"                                2.2
"Open space - managed"                        1.4
"Mixed use"                                           5.2
"Residential - existing"                            4.2
"Residential - existing"                            7.1
"Residential - future"                               5.2
"Residential - existing"                            1.2
"mixed use"                                            4.5


Which gives me these levels=
Levels: Mixed use Open space - managed Residential - existing Residential - future, mixed use


I need to combine mixed use and Mixed use into one category


Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks again
