[R] Getting indeices of intersecting elements.
Hi, Is there a command to get the indices of intersecting elements of two vectors as intersect() will give the elements and not its indices. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Is there a command to get the indices of intersecting elements of two vectors as intersect() will give the elements and not its indices. intersect() uses match() to do that. match(x,y,nomatch) gives the indices of elements of y that elements of x match and match(y,x,nomatch) gives the indices of the elements of x that elements of y match. In each case, the unmatched elements are marked by the value in nomatch. E.g. x-letters[1:5] y-letters[(1:5)*2] x [1] a b c d e y [1] b d f h j match(y,x,nomatch=0) # x[c(2,4)] are in y [1] 2 4 0 0 0 match(x,y,nomatch=0) # y[c(1,2)] are in x [1] 0 1 0 2 0 (If the second argument contains duplicates the index is for the first of them.)
