I want to access a row of a data.frame() by using the row names as hash keys.
This works fine for most keys.
Now consider the following data.frame().
> x <- data.frame(v=c(V40="a", V411="b"))
> x
v
V40 a
V411 b
If I query for "V41", which does not exist in the data.frame() the call does not
return NA as I would expect but the row "V411".
> x[ "V41", ]
[1] b
Levels: a b
If there the prefix is not unique the query does not return a results, i.e.
> x <- data.frame(v=c(V412="a", V411="b"))
> x
v
V412 a
V411 b
> x[ "V41", ]
[1] <NA>
Levels: a b
sessionInfo() output:
> sessionInfo()
