Hi All,
I've been trawling through the documentation and listserv archives on this
topic -- but
as yet have not found a solution. I'm sure this is pretty simple with R, but I
cannot work out how without
resorting to ugly nested loops.
As far as I can tell, grep, match, and %in% are not the correct tools.
Question:
given these vectors --
patrn <- c(1,2,3,4)
exmpl <- c(3,3,4,2,3,1,2,3,4,8,8,23,1,2,3,4,4,34,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4)
how do I get the desired answer by finding the occurence of the pattern and
returning the starting indices:
6, 13, 23
Suggestions very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
