Hi,
I did quote the string and as I told read.table to strip.white  I also tried
it with no spaces.
 "ASPIRIN DISP AAH" %in% tsf_data$name
[1] FALSE

"ASPIRINDISPAAH" %in% tsf_data$name
[1] FALSE

I have looked at the last lines of my y_data object and there is a problem
with the file that I'm going to try to use perl to sort out


if I y_data[2847:2848,]
RONIC ACID|TABS|5MG|6.6.2\n652903|ALENDRONIC ACID Once

MR|CAPS|400MCG|7.4.1\n654800|PENCICLOVIR|CREAM|1%|13.10.3\......
     ........formulation_code strength bnf_code
2847              INJ   1MG/ML    3.4.3
2848

The output looks like this so it must be the input files and not an sqldf
problem.  I didn't see this in the script editor I was using.
