Try the following and experiment:

x %in% c(2,4)
which(x %in% c(2,4))
x[which(x %in% c(2,4)) ]

1.  logical vector w/ TRUE's where one of the c(2,4) are located, F's 
otherwise
2.  indexes of the TRUE's generated above
3.  the vector subset from those indexes

Sorry to be so terse, but that might help
