Hi,
your condition is not really clear since it is not expressed, what
should happen in the case of {1,2,2}. But I assume that should help you
anyway
v = {{1, 1, 2}, {1, 1, 3}, {2, 3, 1}, {1, 2, 3}, {3, 3, 1}}
v /. {a_, b_, c_} :> Which[a === b && b =!= c, 1, True, 2]
Out[5]= {{1, 1, 2}, {1, 1, 3}, {2, 3, 1}, {1, 2, 3}, {3, 3, 1}}
Out[6]= {1, 1, 2, 2, 1}
Cheers
Patrick
