Thanks Jean, Does anyone know how to set these [hast1] and [hast2] as the colors of a plot?

You can use the grepl() function to give you logicals for each criterion, then combine them as needed.  For example:

# example version of Command
Command <- paste0("_localize_", c("PD","t2","t1_seq", "abc", "xyz", "PD_t1"))

hasPD <- grepl("PD", Command, fixed=TRUE)
hast1 <- grepl("t1", Command, fixed=TRUE)
hast2 <- grepl("t2", Command, fixed=TRUE)

> Command[hast1]
[1] "_localize_t1_seq" "_localize_PD_t1" 

> Command[hasPD]
[1] "_localize_PD"    "_localize_PD_t1"

> Command[hast1 & hasPD]
[1] "_localize_PD_t1"

I don't know how to use grep for all these conditions.
