Re: [R] table lookup n R
There is also the match() function, and the %in% operator, either of
which might do the job, depending on your exact details. For example,
(1:26)[letters %in% c('x','t','j')]

Well, if I understand you correctly, you want to find something in your table (data.frame) try: your.table==your.vector to get TRUE/FALSE table with same dimensions as your table and which(your.table==your.vector, arr.ind=T) to obtain row/col indices of TRUE values In case you want something else please try to be more specific.

Re: [R] table lookup n R
Try subscripting, e.g.
# L holds numbers; its names hold lookup keys
L <- 1:26; names(L) <- letters
L[c("d","f")] # look up numbers of d and f
or merge, e.g.
merge(c("d","f"), L, by.x = 1, by.y = 0)
