Hi Bert,
Thank you so much for your help. However I don't really sure what is the
use of y values. Can we do without it?
x <- as.character(FKASA$STUDENT_ID)
y <- c(1,786)
My.Data <- data.frame (x,y)
My.Data[grep("^AA14", My.Data$x), ]
I got the following data:
x y
1 AA14068 1
7 AA14090 1
11 AA14099 1
14 AA14012 786
15 AA14039 1
22 AA14251 786
