There are missing details, such as:
what do you mean by "overlapping"?
do the "files" have the same number of rows?
do you care whether the "overlapping" entries are in the same row?
what kind of R data structure do you have the "files" stored in?
Assuming your file 1 is stored in a vector and your file 2 is stored in a data
frame,
then this example shows one possibility.
## make some example data
f1 <- c('a','b')
f2 <- data.frame( c1=sample(letters[1:5] , 6, replace=TRUE),
c2=1:6,
c3=month.abb[1:6]
)
## find rows in f2 in which a value in the first column of f2 is found in f1
subset(f2, f2$c1 %in% f1)
oh, and,
where's your reproducible example? which is generally expected; please see the
posting guide
please don't send html email to r-help, it usually makes email unreadable on
r-help

Hi All,
I have two files.
1. with only one column
2. data matrix
I need to compare first columns of both files and print the rows from
second file for the overlapping entries. I have solutions for awk and sed,
but I need how to do it in R.
Thanks
Regards
Anchal
