Compare each element of a list to a vector
try this:
x<-c(1,2,3)
datalist<-list(c(1,2,3),c(2,3,4),c(3,4,5),c(4,5,6))
result <- sapply(datalist, function(.vec){
+ all(.vec == x) + })
result
[1] TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE

Hello R-helpers, I have a vector x<-c(1,2,3) and a list that contains vectors datalist<-list(c(1,2,3),c(2,3,4),c(3,4,5),c(4,5,6)) and I would like to identify those list elements that are identical to x. I tried
datalist %in% x
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
but I am obviously using %in% incorrectly. I also tried messing around with
lapply but I can't figure out how to specify the function within lapply.
I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Many thanks!
