Hello, I'm just looking for an easy way to find the positions of a complete sequence in a bigger vector. For example : c("a","z","e") in c("a","z","e","r","t","a","z","a","z","e","c") and the result should be 1 8 that is the positions of the beginning of the complete sequence.
I tried with %in%, match, is.element but all I get is, for example which(c("a","z","e") in c("a","z","e","r","t","a","z","a","z","e","c")) 1 2 3 meaning that each character is in the bigger vector. It must be easy, except for me. Sorry. If you have a solution, thanks in advance to share it. Have a good week-end, Ptit Bleu. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/find-a-sequence-of-characters-in-a-vector-tp23888063p23888063.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.
