I am trying to return an index for a data set by searching using filenames.
The name may be ANG_AUT.N.0734C70411A-1_1sA_0734C70411A.fasta, but i'd just like to search it using the term "0734C70411" as the file may be 0734C70411A or 0734C70411C or 0734C70411D Any way to do this other than doing something like this. where 0734C70411A is part of matrix list[,8] samp=paste("ANG_AUT.N.",list[i,8],"-1_1sA_",list[i,8],".fasta",sep="") data[which(data[,2]==samp),] This is similar to the =~/ / function in perl.
