[R] For help in R coding

Yes you are right. unlist operation is unnecessary and I have tried it yesterday and it is working without that operation also.But I have one more problem on which I have worked whole day but did not get any solution.As I told you I am new to R,I want to ask that how I can use the (if condition) in the following code

df=read.table("Case2.pileup",fill=T,sep="\t",colClasses = "character") 
txtvec <- readLines(textConnection(df[,9]))
dad=data.frame(A = (sapply(gregexpr("A|a", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )),
C = (sapply(gregexpr("C|c", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )),
G = (sapply(gregexpr("G|g", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )),
T = (sapply(gregexpr("T|t", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )),
N = (sapply(gregexpr("\\,|\\.", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )))


Now my problem is in my data frame I have alphabets A,C,G and T in 3rd column also.Now these commas (,)and dots(.) in column 9 are for these alphabets which are in column 3.I want to use if condition like this

if in my dataframe column 3 have  A then A = (sapply(gregexpr("\\,|\\.", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 ))) else (A = (sapply(gregexpr("A|a", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )),if in my dataframe column 3 haveCA then C = (sapply(gregexpr("\\,|\\.", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 ))) else C = (sapply(gregexpr("C|c", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )), if in my dataframe column 3 have  G then G = (sapply(gregexpr("\\,|\\.", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 ))) else G = (sapply(gregexpr("G|g", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )) if in my dataframe column 3 have  T then T = (sapply(gregexpr("\\,|\\.", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 ))) else T = (sapply(gregexpr("T|t", (df[,9])), function(x) if ( x[[1]] != -1)  
length(x) else 0 )),


So I want to code so that it will give the output like this-

DATA FRAME (Input)

   col3                 col 9
    T                      .a,g,,
    A                    .t,t,,
    A                    .,c,c,
    C                     .,a,,,
    G                     .,t,t,t
    A                     .c,,g,^!.
    A                      .g,ggg.^!,
    A                      .$,,,,,.,
    C                      a,g,,t,
    T                      ,,,,,.,^!.
    T                       ,$,,,,.,."


output

A            C                 G                        T
1             0                  1                        4
4             0                  0                        2
4              2                 0                        0
1              5                 0                        0
0              0                 4                        3



This is the output for first five rows.



Can you please help me how to use this if condition in your coding or we can also do it by using some other condition rather than if condition?

The unlist operation is unnecessary since the sapply operation returns
a vector.  (It doesn't hurt, but it is unnecessary.)
