Suppose I have the following list,



l = "b", "c", "d", "e", "b", "a", "b", "d", "e"


and further suppose I have the following association,



l1=<|1 -> "a", 2 -> "b", 3 -> "c", 4 -> "d", 5 -> "e"|>


I wonder how can I replace the keys into my list such that I get,



2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 1, 2, 4, 5

          The following gives you a "reversed" version of your association, with keys and values flipped:



          l1 = <|1 -> "a", 2 -> "b", 3 -> "c", 4 -> "d", 5 -> "e"|>;

          lookup = First /@ PositionIndex@l1
          (* <|"a" -> 1, "b" -> 2, "c" -> 3, "d" -> 4, "e" -> 5|> *)


          You can then use ReplaceAll (/.) to do the replacement:



          l = "b", "c", "d", "e", "b", "a", "b", "d", "e";

          l /. lookup
          (* 2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 1, 2, 4, 5 *)


          Alternatives



          Other possible solutions for creating lookup:



          lookup = <|Reverse /@ Normal@l1|>
          lookup = Reverse /@ Normal@l1 (* doesn't need to be an association *)

                For this particular mapping, you could also use ToCharacterCode:



                ToCharacterCode[StringJoin /@ l] - First@ToCharacterCode@"a" + 1

                                          For this particular mapping, you could also use ToCharacterCode:



                                          ToCharacterCode[StringJoin /@ l] - First@ToCharacterCode@"a" + 1
