Amended examaple ( I forgot I had Hmic loaded and was using it.) a <- as.character(c("b","d","c","a")) b <- as.character( Cs("a","b,"c","d","e")) h <- c(a,b) ; h h[duplicated(h)] > I just want to extract that "e"! > > I had thought that > h[!duplicated(h)] > might work but it simply returns all the unique > values > whereas > I simply want to simply find the odd man out. > > I thought of using sorting the vectors & using a > cbind > but the id's are assigned > more or less randomly so that didn't work. > > Thanks > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, > reproducible code. > ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
