Is there a neat R trick for this?
Hello all,
given two vectors X and Y I'd like to receive a vector Z which
contains, for each element of X, the index of the corresponding
element in Y (or NA if that element isn't in Y).
Example:
x <- c(4,5,6)
y <- c(10,1,5,12,4,13,14)
z <- findIndexIn(x, y)
z
[1] 5 3 NA
1st element of z is 5, because the 1st element of x is at the 5th position in y
2nd element of z is 3, because the 2nd element of x is at the 3rd position in y
3rd element of z is NA, because the 3rd element of x is not in y
Of course I can write the function findIndexIn() usin...
