Hi all,
I'm trying to find
something like the "==" operator that will work on vectors or something
equivalent to SQL's "IN" function. For e.g., if I have:
x <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
y <- c("apples", "oranges", "grapes", "bananas", "pears")
z <- data.frame (x,y)
w <- c(2,4,5)
I want R to return the values "oranges", "bananas", "pears" through some
function like this:
z$y[z$x == w]
or in sql speak, like this
z$y[z$x IN w]
To complicate matters, my x variable is a date variable (as is w). Essentially,
I have a bunch of dates with associated values and I want to retrieve all the
associated values for particular dates.
Is there any R function that will do this in a one-line, non-messy way? Thanks
very much for any help!
Emily
