Dear All, Consider a simple example a<-c(1,4,3,0,4,5,6,9,3,4) b<-c(0,4,5) c<-c(5,4,0)
I would like to be able to tell whether a sequence is contained (the order of the elements does matter) in another one e.g. in the example above, b is a subsequence of a, whereas c is not. Since the order matters, I cannot treat the sequences above as sets (also, elements are repeated).
Does anyone know a smart way of achieving that?
