Michael, Maybe you do not realize that when someone writes a word with a question mark in front of it, it means that you should look at the help page for that function. For example, if you type "?merge" in an R terminal (without the quotes) it will open the help page for that function. Another option is to type help(merge)
Hope this makes it easier for you to find answers in the future, Garrett On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 5:53 PM, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh I forgot one thing: > > xts_one and xts_two are not neccessarily the same length... > > In effect, I was looking for a time series set-operation "intersect".... > > Thank you! > > On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 12:35 PM, Jun Zhu <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Assume you are testing the first column >> >> l_result <- ifelse(l_xts_one[,1] == l_xts_two[,1], l_xts_one[,1],NA) >> >> >> >> >> --- On *Mon, 1/23/12, Brian G.
