Hi - I am new to R, and am becoming increasingly comfortable with  
performing my analyses in R, but I am struggling a bit with  
manipulating my data.  I found this list on the CRAN website, and I  
hope that this post is in line with the purpose of the list.

I have a data set in Excel that I move to the R environment, but I am  
stuck figuring out how to transform the items that must be reverse  
coded.  Specifically, I have a number of items that are on a scale  
from 1-8; I need to reverse all the numbers between 1 and 7, and  
recode 8 as 0 (i.e. 7-to-1, 1-to-7, 6-to-2, 2-to-6,etc. and 8-to-0).

I would really appreciate some assistance in performing this action.

Thanks all!
