[R] how to use AND in grepl

[chalabi.elahe at yahoo.de]

Thanks Peter, you were right, the exact grepl is grepl("(.*t2.*pd.*)|(.*pd.*t2.*)",df$Command), but it does not change anything in Command, when I check the size of it by sum(grepl("(.*t2.*pd.*)|(.*pd.*t2.*)",df$Command))  the result is 0, but I am sure that the size is not 0. It seems that this AND does not work.

Tom's code was missing a ")" but not where you put one. He probably also didn't intend to capitalize "subset".


-pd
