Hi, I have loaded a dataset in R : data =
label freq1 freq2 news 54 35 fun 37 21 milk 19 7 food 3 3 .... etc And I have a vector flist<-c("fun","food") Now I want to use the vector 'flist' for selecting these values from 'data' so that I get the following dataset : label freq1 freq2 fun 37 21 food 3 3 When I do 'data$label==flist[1]' I get 'F T F F', so it works for one item in the char vector flist. But, when I do 'data$label==flist' I get 'F F F F' while I expected 'F T F T'. It seems that I can't perform this action with a vector of charstrings? Is there an other way to do so? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/select-rows-from-data-based-on-a-vector-of-char-strings-tp16832735p16832735.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
