Hi Laura.

Let's assume file 1 and 2 are vectors loaded in R named: vec1 and vec2,


here is a short code (with dummy numbers) for a solution:



vec1 <- c(1,2,34,4,3,6,76)
vec2 <- c(1,2,34,76,24,62,1,4234,435,4333,4422,304,776)

which.vec2.where.in.vec1 <- vec2 %in% vec1
which.vec2.where.in.vec1.turned.into.yes.and.no<-ifelse(which.vec2.where.in.vec1
, "yes", "no")

cbind(vec2, which.vec2.where.in.vec1.turned.into.yes.and.no)



Cheers,
Tal
