Okay so my problem is that I want to import a csv file (that is separeted by commas, so R reads it as a dataframe).
The first column is called "Animals", and below there is "crocodile", "elephant" etc. Here I want to replace names of the animals to be either "reptile" or "mammal".
How do I do this?
Thank you a lot in advance
You need to make a reproducible code. A reproducible example allows someone else to recreate your problem by just copying and pasting R code. Btw if I understand correctly try this:
library(dplyr)
your_df = read.csv("the file path", sep = ",") %>%
mutate(Animals = case_when(Animals == "crocodile" ~ "reptile",
Animals == "elephant" ~ "mammal",
T ~ as.character(Animals)))
Where "the file path" is your csv file path like "D:/Users/YourUser/Desktop/my_file.csv"
