Actually not sure my previous answer does what you wanted. Using your approach:
t2pd=subset(df,grepl("t2",df$Command) & grepl("pd",df$Command)) Should work. I think the regex pattern you are looking for is: Subset(df,grepl("(.* t2.*pd.* )|(.* pd.* t2.*)",df$Command) On Sat, Apr 30, 2016, 7:07 PM Tom Wright <t...@maladmin.com> wrote: > subset(df,grepl("t2|pd",x$Command)) > > > On Sat, Apr 30, 2016 at 2:38 PM, ch.elahe via R-help <r-help@r-project.org > > wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I have one factor variable in my df and I want to extract the names from >> it which contain both "t2" and "pd": >> >> 'data.frame': 36919 obs. of 162 variables >> $TE :int 38,41,11,52,48,75,..... >> $TR :int 100,210,548,546,..... >> $Command :factor W/2229 levels >> "_localize_PD","_localize_tre_t2","_abdomen_t1_seq","knee_pd_t1_localize","pd_local_abdomen_t2"... >> >> I have tried this but I did not get result: >> >> t2pd=subset(df,grepl("t2",Command) & grepl("pd",Command)) >> >> >> does anyone know how to apply AND in grepl? >> >> Thanks >> Elahe >> >> ______________________________________________ >> R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see >> 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. >> > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
