Re: [R] Looping through multiple sub elements of a list to compare to multiple components of a vector

First, a couple posting tips. It's helpful to provide some example data people can work with. Also, please post in plain text (not html). If you have a single standard for comparison, you might find an approach like this helpful. # example data mylist <- c("AAEBCC", "AABDCC", "AABBCD") list.2 <
