Hi, There is a mistake in the first line. It should be: > for(i in 1:(length(test1)-1))

Hi all. This is my first message at R-help...so I'm hoping I have some beginner's luck and get some good help for my problem! FYI I have just started using R recently so my knowledge of R is pretty preliminary. Okay here is what I need help with - I need to know how to use agrep in a for loop. I need to compare elements of a vector of names with other elements of the same vector. However if I use something like this: for(i in 1:length(test1)-1) { for(j in i+1:length(test1)) { result[[i]][j] <- agrep(test1[i], test1[j], ignore.case = TRUE, value = TRUE, max.distance = 0.1) } } I get an error message saying - invalid 'pattern' argument. -* Error in agrep(test1[i], test1[j], ignore.case = TRUE, value = TRUE, max.distance = 0.1) : * * invalid 'pattern' argument* Test 1 being - c("Vashi", "Vashi,navi Mumbai", "Thane", "Vashi,new Mumbai", "Thana", "Surekha", "Thane(w)", "surekhaN") This is the first time I'm using agrep, I do not understand how it works fully... Kindly help... Thank you. Su.
