[R] partial match of one column in data frame to another character vector

[Juliet Hannah]

Here is some data (dput output below)

> myData
                              id                          group
1                           D599                              A
2                       002-0004                              B
3                         F01932                              A
18                          F16                               B
19                          F28                               A
20                           A94                              B


and a vector of IDs (the full label).

> fullID
[1] "F16-284"      "ACC-A94-AB"   "ADAD599"      "002-0004BCC"
"CDCF01932.AB" "F28DDB"       "NOMATCH-EX"

For each id in myData, there could be a partial match in fullID. For
example D599 in myData matches  ADAD599. I would like to add a column
to myData that contains the corresponding fullID or NA if a match was
not found.

Thanks for your help.
