Hi: Not much different from Peter's approach, but here's another try:
v <- c(1, 2, 6, 5) w <- matrix(c(1, 4, 3, 5, 8, 10), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE) > w [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 3 5 [3,] 8 10 f <- function(x) v[which(v >= x[1] & v <= x[2])] unlist(apply(w, 1, f)) [1] 1 2 5 If you just do the apply() part, the function will return a list of those elements of v that fall within the i-th interval.
