Dear All,

I would appreciate any help with the following: given the vector 'x'

x <- c("Ass1", "Ass.s1", "Ass2", "Ass.s2")

I would like to pick up the positions where the character string contains "Ass" but does not contain "Ass.s", so for 'x' that would be positions 1 and 3.

I guess this could be programmed around grep() using a suitable regular expression, but I haven't managed to succeed.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Dimitris
