How to search for a sequence(and its combination) inside a vector?

table(dd)

length(vec)

Beats me. I get:
table(dd)
    val
leng TRUE
   1    3
   3   12

What does dd look like.  In my case I get this where the first column is the row number
dd
   leng  val
1     3 TRUE
3     3 TRUE
5     3 TRUE
7     3 TRUE
9     3 TRUE
11    1 TRUE
13    3 TRUE
15    3 TRUE
17    3 TRUE
19    3 TRUE
21    3 TRUE
23    3 TRUE
25    1 TRUE
27    3 TRUE
29    1 TRUE

Thanks John.

Why do I get length of 5 and 6?  I thought I am only tallying up 1 to 3?

table(dd)

    val
leng TRUE
   1    5
   2    4
   3   81
   5    1
   6    4

Taking Berend's example a bit further, this seems to work

If you use str(b) you will see it is a list

b <- rle(a)
cc  <-  data.frame(b[[1]], b[[2]])
names(cc)  <-  c("leng", 'val')
dd  <-  subset(cc, val ==TRUE )
table(dd)

Hi Berend
I am looking for a table,
# of times one element (out of 1, 2, 3) showed up, two elements, and
all
three.

I am trying, don't know if this works:

aa <- rle(a)
b <- aa$lengths[aa$values]
table(b)

b
 1  3
 3 12

Mike

Hi R list,

I have a sequence repeating 1:15 .  Some numbers are deleted.  I want
to find how many times 1, 2, 3 appeared.
Basically, I want to "grab" the beginning of the sequence and tally
it
up.

R code:

vec <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13,
14,

15, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14,
15, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 1, 7, 10, 13, 1, 2, 3, 4,
6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1,
2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7,
8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 3, 14, 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 13, 14, 1)

a <- vec %in% c(1, 2, 3)
a

 [1]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE
TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE
[15] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE
FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
[29]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE
[43] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE
[57] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE
FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
[71]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE
[85] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
[99] FALSE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE
TRUE

rle(a)

Run Length Encoding
 lengths: int [1:29] 3 6 3 8 3 5 3 8 3 6 ...
 values : logi [1:29] TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE ...

What should I do after this?

Well how about

sum(a)

or

b <- rle(a)
sum(b$lengths[b$values])

Berend

Thanks,
Mike
