There is a between function in the data.table package.

function (x, lower, upper, incbounds = TRUE)
{
if (incbounds)
x >= lower & x <= upper
else x > lower & x < upper
}
and also in the tis package which works differently:

function (y, x1, x2)
{
y <- unclass(y)
x1 <- unclass(x1)
x2 <- unclass(x2)
small <- pmin(x1, x2)
large <- pmax(x1, x2)
(y >= small) & (y <= large)
}
In addition, SQL has a between operator
