Yuan -
   There may be faster ways, but

names(lst)[sapply(lst,function(i)'a' %in% i && 'c' %in% i)]

seems to do what you want.

Hi,
?
it seems a simple problem, but I can not find a clear way.
I have a list:
lst=list(m=c('a','b','c'),n=c('c','a'),l=c('a','bc'))
lst
$m
[1] "a" "b" "c"
$n
[1] "c" "a"
$l
[1] "a"? "bc"

how can I get list elements that?include a given?subset? for example, for given 
subset {'a','c'},?the answer should be?'m' and 'n'.
?
thanks
Yu
