Dear all,
Below there are two, simple - I suppose, questions on using pmatch():

> pmatch("xx", c("cc","xxa"))
[1] 2
> pmatch("a", c("cc","xxa"))
[1] NA
> pmatch("xx", c("cc","xxa","xxb"))
[1] NA

I would like that the second call returns also 2, and the third call returns
c(2,3)
is it possible?

many thanks
vito
