HI, here is another solution: int <- sample(1:20,10) int [1] 10 4 5 2 14 17 9 11 16 13
mat<-matrix(11:30,ncol=4) mat [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 11 16 21 26 [2,] 12 17 22 27 [3,] 13 18 23 28 [4,] 14 19 24 29 [5,] 15 20 25 30 mat[apply(mat,1, function(x) any(int==x[1])),] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 11 16 21 26 [2,] 13 18 23 28 [3,] 14 19 24 29 Andrija On Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 7:08 AM, Joseph N.
