Matching contents of alpha

[javiersan]

Hello,

I have two alpha objects and I want to test whether the elements of one are in the other. Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks,

Javier

The only way to do this is to create a string containing the elements of the alpha series (and you can only do that by creating a for loop that loops through the elements and adds them to the string list), and then use something like @wunique to get the list of elements in both. If you have many observations, this might become unworkable.

Thanks Gareth, a loop will do.
