I have a vector like this:
vectorx<-c(3,3,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2)
and I want to check if the sequence 3,3,1,1,1,2 exists. It turns out that this sequence can be in any position of the vector, I just want to know if this sequence specifically exists, I want it to return TRUE or FALSE only. How do I do? I see many% in% but for a sequence that can occur in any position I have not seen yet. Thank you guys
Library(zoo)
vectory <- c(3,3,1,1,1,2)
which(rollapply(vectorx, length(vectory), identical, vectory))
If the output is any number, the vectory sequence is present in vectorx ; otherwise the result will be integer(0)
I know the answer has already been accepted, but as you want a response of type TRUE or FALSE follows an alternative:
vectorx <- c(3,3,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2)
vectory <- c(3,3,1,1,1,2)
grepl(paste(vectory, collapse = " "), paste(vectorx, collapse = " "))
