Hi all, I am not exactly fluent in R and I got stuck with this. I would like to compare each elements of a vector A with any of the elements in Vector B. For some reasons it does not work.> StartDate = as.Date("01/10/2007", "%d/%m/%Y") > TimeSpan = seq(StartDate, by = 'days', length length(myAverageCWVs$X1986))> TickLabels = c("2007-10-01", "2007-11-01", "2007-12-01", "2008-01-01")> TimeSpan[1:40] == TickLabelsHere I would expect TRUE for teh first entry and then TRUE for the entry related to "2007-11-01". This doesn't seem to be the case. [1] TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE [13] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE [25] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE [37] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE Thanks you in advance for any help.

Hi, You might consider ?match For example: StartDate = as.Date("01/10/2007", "%d/%m/%Y") TimeSpan = seq(StartDate, by = 'days', length = 40) TickLabels = as.Date(c("2007-10-01", "2007-11-01", "2007-12-01", "2008-01-01"), "%Y-%m-%d") TimeSpan[1:40] == TickLabels # not designed for comparing multiple values on each side TickLabels %in% TimeSpan[1:40] # Find which TickLabels are in TimeSpane TimeSpan[1:40] %in% TickLabels # Find which TimeSpane are in TickLabels HTH, Josh On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 5:50 AM, Paolo Agnolucci <agnolucponr at googlemail.com> wrote:> Hi all, > > I am not exactly fluent in R and I got stuck with this.
