Dear all,
I have querry on how to extract the data by matching between two data set where 
one has the same elements multiple times?
 
For example, I have two matrix X and Y.
> X
   [,1]    [,2]       [,3]
1  A     5          P
2  B      6         P
3  C     7         P
4  D     5         Q
5  E      6         Q
6  F      7         Q
7  G     5          R
8  H     6          R
9  I       7          S
10 J      5         S
11 K    6          T
12 L     7          T
 
and 
 
>Y       [,1]
1          P
2          Q
3          R
4          S
 
Now, I want to select and extract all the data of P, Q, R and S elements of 
column 3 of X matrix by matching with column 1 of Y matrix like below:
 
> [,1]   [,2]       [,3]
1  A     5          P
2  B      6         P
3  C     7         P
4  D     5         Q
5  E      6         Q
6  F      7         Q
7  G     5          R
8  H     6          R
9  I       7          S
10 J      5         S
 
I guess, the answer might be simple but i am not getting way to figure out. 
And, i have to select subset from very huge data set. So, i need some kinds of 
automated procedure.
If some one can help me, it will be great
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Sincerely,
Ram Kumar Basnet
