Subsetting character by names

[Avner Kantor]

Suppose I have

mySillyQuestion<-c("avner", "moshe", "haim", "moti", "tal", "amit")

I want to get all the names between moshe and tal without using index.

I tried subset(mySillyQuestion, select = moshe:tal)

What is the easiet way to do it? (the hard way is to use dplyr and select() columns after reshape)

Thanks,

Avner

Here is a way to do it with base R -

x = c("avner", "moshe", "haim", "moti", "tal", "amit")
x
[1] "avner" "moshe" "haim"  "moti"  "tal"   "amit" 
x[which(x == "moshe") : which(x == "tal")]
[1] "moshe" "haim"  "moti"  "tal"
