Hi, You can try this also: df1<-read.table(text=" Name Age Place Aby 12 USA Raj 25 UK Romi 32 ENG Amy 31 IND ",sep="",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactor=FALSE) #row index unlist(apply(df1,1,function(x) which(grepl("ENG",x)))) #[1] 3 #column index unlist(apply(df1,2,function(x) which(grepl("ENG",x)))) #Place # 3 #or, you can use arrayInd(which(df1=="ENG"), dim(df1)) # [,1] [,2] #[1,] 3 3 #or df2<-as.matrix(df1) arrayInd(which(grepl("ENG",df2)), dim(df2)) # [,1] [,2] #[1,] 3 3 A.K. ________________________________ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Searching-from-Dataframe-tp4642722p4642756 .html To unsubscribe from Searching from Dataframe., click here <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscrib e_by_code&node=4642722&code=YW50b255LmFra2FyYUBnZS5jb218NDY0MjcyMnwxNTUx OTQzMDI5> .
