Hi, You might consider ?match For example:
StartDate = as.Date("01/10/2007", "%d/%m/%Y") TimeSpan = seq(StartDate, by = 'days', length = 40) TickLabels = as.Date(c("2007-10-01", "2007-11-01", "2007-12-01", "2008-01-01"), "%Y-%m-%d") TimeSpan[1:40] == TickLabels # not designed for comparing multiple values on each side TickLabels %in% TimeSpan[1:40] # Find which TickLabels are in TimeSpane TimeSpan[1:40] %in% TickLabels # Find which TimeSpane are in TickLabels HTH, Josh On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 5:50 AM, Paolo Agnolucci <agnolucp...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am not exactly fluent in R and I got stuck with this.
