[R] duplicated names and values

[John Kane]

I was afraid of that.  

I am a newbie at R and while there probably is some
easy way to do this I don't see it

This example will, at least, show you a way to get the
actual duplicate names. However I don't see any easy
way without all kinds of subsetting to get what you
need.

nas  <- c("A",  "B" , "B" ,"C" ,"B", "A" )
nums  <- c(3, 2,  1, 1, 2, 3)
names(nums)  <-  nas
nums
dups  <-  duplicated(names(nums))
mydata  <- data.frame(nas , nums, dups)
mydups  <- unique(subset(mydata[,1],   
mydata$dups=="TRUE"))
