If the matrix can have different number of columns, then also the following can be used combs <- as.matrix(expand.grid(c(0,1),c(0,1),c(0,1))) x <- c(0,1,1) which(rowSums(combs != rep(x, each=nrow(combs))) == 0) # [1] 7 Petr Savicky. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
