title: R "Error: unexpected '}' in "}"
body: <p>I have a string variable that has "(Null Value)" for cases that are missing data. I want to recode "(Null Value)" to just be missing, and not say "(Null Value)". I'm trying to write a loop to get rid of these (Null Value) entries and I keep getting an error "Error: unexpected '}' in "}"</p>
  
  <pre><code>for (row in data){
    if terminate_reason == "(Null Value)"
      recode(data$terminate_reason, "(Null Value)" = NA)
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>wtf does R think there's an extra curly bracket in there?
  PS-I expect I'll get other errors after solving this one because I'm new to R and have no idea what I'm doing, but I can't get past this one.</p>
