Here is some data (dput output below)
> myData
id group
1 D599 A
2 002-0004 B
3 F01932 A
18 F16 B
19 F28 A
20 A94 B
and a vector of IDs (the full label).
> fullID
[1] "F16-284" "ACC-A94-AB" "ADAD599" "002-0004BCC"
"CDCF01932.AB" "F28DDB" "NOMATCH-EX"
For each id in myData, there could be a partial match in fullID. For
example D599 in myData matches ADAD599. I would like to add a column
to myData that contains the corresponding fullID or NA if a match was
not found.
Thanks for your help.
