Try this:
a_tmp<-c("a", "b", "d", "e", "f", "g", 'h')
b_tmp<-c("a", "c", "e", "g")
setdiff(b_tmp, a_tmp)
[1] "c"
setdiff(a_tmp, b_tmp)
[1] "b" "d" "f" "h"
Is this a bug?

Here is one other way:
bnota <- setdiff(b_tmp, a_tmp)
gives the members of b_tmp that are not in a_tmp so length(bnota) == 0
if all of b_tmp is in a_tmp.

Dear Jason,
Yes, here is one way:
a_tmp<-c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", 'h')
b_tmp<-c("a", "c", "e", "g")
b_tmp %in% a_tmp
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
b_tmp[b_tmp%in%a_tmp]
[1] "a" "c" "e" "g"
all(b_tmp %in% a_tmp)
[1] TRUE
Take a look at ?"%in%" and ?all for more information.
HTH,
Jorge

By any chance is there an R command to compare two vectors?
For example,
a_tmp<-c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", 'h')
b_tmp<-c("a", "c", "e", "g")
I would like to compare b_tmp against a_tmp to determine if the
members of
b_tmp are part of a_tmp.
I tried
subset(b_tmp, b_tmp==a_tmp)
That doesn't seem to work.
Thanks again.
