Hi again,
I am facing trouble to match a vector strings. Let say I have below
full string vector
WhereToLook = c("ultracemco.bo.openam" , "ultracemco.bo.higham"
,"ultracemco.bo.lowam" , "ultracemco.bo.closeam" ,
"ultracemco.bo.volumeam" ,"ultracemco.bo.adjustedam")
WhatToLook = c("volume", "close")
Basically I need to find the positions of WhatToLook in WhereToLook.
So my code goes as below :
> pmatch(tolower(colnames(WhereToLook)), WhatToLook)
integer(0)
Although I was expecting my code would point 5 & 4 respectively.
Appreciate if someone points as correct code for above case.
Thanks,
