[R] A "matching problem"

[MacQueen, Don]

Does this do what you want?
(using just three letters to keep the list of results short)


> tmp <- expand.grid(v=letters[1:3],V=LETTERS[1:3])
> tmp
  v V
1 a A
2 b A
3 c A
4 a B
5 b B
6 c B
7 a C
8 b C
9 c C
> 
> subset(tmp, tolower(tmp$V) != tmp$v)
  v V
2 b A
3 c A
4 a B
6 c B
7 a C
8 b C

>(A,B,C,D,E) & (a,b,c,d,e) is 1 match. Another match can be (A,B,C,D,E) &
>(b,a,c,d,e), however there cant be any duplication.
