Hello,
You should post a working example, we have no idea what your 2d data set
is. A matrix? A data.frame? Something else?
And the string you are looking for? Are you thinking of regular
expressions (grep) or is it a simple equality '=='?
Here is a reproducible example of the use of ?which() with argument
arr.ind set to TRUE.
# create a data set
set.seed(2021)
A <- matrix(sample(letters, 24, TRUE), ncol = 4)
# Test for equality, this returns
# a logical matrix and which() can
# be applied to it
found <- A == "g"
which(found, arr.ind = TRUE)
# row col
#[1,] 1 1
#[2,] 5 1
#[3,] 2 3
# The same code can be use if the data is
# a data.frame
df1 <- as.data.frame(A)
df1 == "g"
But if you want to look for a regex, try sapply. In this example the
pattern is a simple one, and I use grepl.
pattern <- "g"
found2 <- sapply(df1, function(x) grepl(pattern, x))
which(found2, arr.ind = TRUE)
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Hi,
How can I find the location of string data in my 2D dataset? spec(Dataset)
will reveal the columns that contain the strings. But can I know where
exactly the string values are in the column?
