[R] Is variable in one vector part of variable in another

[Bert Gunter]

...
Indeed, but note that both %in% and intersect() are essentially wrappers for
match() .

In addition to the solution using %in% which has already been suggested,
you may also want to play with something like this:

# make up some data
x = sample(1:8, 10, rep=T)
z = sample(1:25, 75, rep=T)
# find intersection between x and z
intersect(x,z)
