Dear Tom, I think this is the line you need arules::subset(rules, subset=lhs %pin% "") I found the solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27926131/how-to-get-items-for-both-lhs-and-rhs-for-only-specific-columns-in-arules
One more thing. For printing the rules, I needed the inspect() command you didn't provide. I hope this helps.
