Maybe this helps: z <- c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) r <- c(3,7) fun1 <- function(r, z) sapply(r,function(x) which(x == z)) fun1(r,z) Berend ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
