look at ?grep(), e.g.,
x <- c("abcde", "absdf", "dfabds", "dsbsssd")
grep("ab", x)
grep("bs", x)
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris

Subject: [S] contain
Dear all,
I have a very trivial question. Is there a function in Splus to
identify
in a vector of strings those strings that contain a certain substring.
Kind regards, Huub Jan Kleijn
