R Gurus,I have a vector of nearly 90,000 characters from which I have to
extract the index of the characters which are repeated. So suppose if
x<-c("a","a","b","a","b","c","d") then my output would be a vector having
the index where the values are repeated i.e (1,2,3,4,5). I have been able to
isolate out the values that are repeated from the unique list of characters
in x (i.e. y<-c("a","b")). One method can be to use a loop on the which
function but that would be too time consuming. Any hint on using the apply
function effectively would be useful
Thanks and Regards
