Another (column-wise) approach to this would be: x <- c(3,3,3,3,0,0,0,0,5,5,5,5,8,8,8,8) x <- matrix(x, nrow=4) > which(apply(x, 2, function(i) all(i == 0))) [1] 2 x <- c(3,3,3,3,1,-1,1,-1,5,5,5,5,8,8,8,8) x <- matrix(x, nrow=4) > which(apply(x, 2, function(i) all(i == 0))) integer(0) HTH, Marc Schwartz ______________________________________________ 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.
