[R] Index vectors get overwriten ?!

[Thomas Bruns]

Hello,

For some analysis of a mesh structure I need to prepare several vectors
of indexes of different length. This is done by the following code
sequence (including diagnostic output):
#--------------------------------------------------
MT_ind <- which(V1.frame[,2] %in% mm[,1])
print("M_ind")
str(M_ind)
		
Q1_ind <- which(V1.frame[,2] %in% mq1)
print("Q1_ind")
str(Q1_ind)

Q2_ind <- which(V1.frame[,2] %in% mq2)
print("Q2_ind")
str(Q2_ind)

MS_ind <- which(V1.frame[,2] %in% ms)
print("MS_ind")
str(MS_ind)

print ("---------------")
print("M_ind")
str(M_ind)
print("Q1_ind")
str(Q1_ind)
print("Q2_ind")
str(Q2_ind)
print("MS_ind")
str(MS_ind)
#-----------------------------------------------------

Although the Index vectors *_ind have different names they get
subsequently overwriten, as you see in the diagnostic output:

[1] "M_ind"
 int [1:12023] 6952 6953 6954 6957 6958 6959 6962 6963 6964 6965 ...
[1] "Q1_ind"
 int [1:331] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
[1] "Q2_ind"
 int [1:331] 6952 6957 6962 6963 6964 6965 6966 6967 6968 6969 ...
[1] "MS_ind"
 int [1:3] 15237 15238 15239
[1] "---------------"
[1] "M_ind"
 int [1:3] 15237 15238 15239
[1] "Q1_ind"
 int [1:3] 15237 15238 15239
[1] "Q2_ind"
 int [1:3] 15237 15238 15239
[1] "MS_ind"
 int [1:3] 15237 15238 15239    


Everything is now equal to MS_ind which was asigned last!
So, can anybody tell me what's happened here? Am I working on memory
pointers without knowing??

Tia!
