I have two vectors like this: vector_1 <- c(Belgium, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal) vector_2 <- c(Denmark, Luxembourg) I would like to find the elements in vector_1 that are not in vector_2 so that i get a vector with these countries: Belgium, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal. Thanks a lot, Thomas ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
