r - How to change levels of a variable that is a factor? -


i have data contains numerical values letters, have 

j = c( 5 , 6, 7, 6, 7,12 , missing , 6 ,7 8, missing , n/a, n/a, 5, 6)

i know saved factor number of levels. wanted change n/a 0 numerical value, don't know how that. have used simple commands not let me, data larger have given can not manually.

any appreciated.

the gotcha' factors assignment of value position in vector requires value in levels of factor attribute. can augment acceptable values in 'levels' levels<--function.

> j = factor( c( 5 , 6, 7, 6, 7,12 , 'missing' , 6 ,7, 8, 'missing' , 'n/a', 'n/a', 5, 6)  # notice corrected code since didn't enclose character values in quotes  # ,,,, , seemed missing comma > levels(j) <- c(levels(j), 0)  # append levels; keep initial order. > j[j=='n/a'] <- 0 > j  [1] 5       6       7       6       7       12      missing 6        [9] 7       8       missing 0       0       5       6       levels: 12 5 6 7 8 missing n/a 0

this exact syntax not apply situation had real r na's rather 'n/a', since nothing ever =='s na.

and looking @ again realized failed see beauty , simplicity of @akrun's suggestion of using level<- modify levels attribute "in place". 

 levels(j)[levels(j)=='n/a'] <- 0

the logic of suggestion has possibly desirable feature of not increasing number of levels integer values in vector remain same 1 needs modify labels within attribute. admit getting tripped factors in r, personal failing apparently still working on.

powershell Start-Process exit code -1073741502 when used with Credential from a windows service environment -

i'm running strange behavior powershell start-process call. here call: $process = start-process ` "c:\somepath\mybinary.exe" ` -passthru ` -credential $defaultcredential ` -wait ` -workingdirectory "c:\somepath" ` -loaduserprofile if ($process.exitcode -ne 0) { #do } this call return exit code - 1073741502 . after quick search, exit code seems related generic error when program not load required dll (aka. status_dll_init_failed ). when run without -credential $credential program runs correctly. in order isolate problem, manually launched some.exe in prompt target credential , runs smoothly. so problem seems come way start-process cmdlet launch process. i found potential solutions problem tried apply no luck : link , link . would have idea of what's going on here ? edit 1: run proc mon monitoring program activities when launched directly or via powershell script. problem seems occur when loading kernelbase
