[Traminer-users] Problems for sequences search that contain a specific state and with the seqecreate/seqecontain functions.

[ELIE CHOSSON]

Hello dear TraMineR's users. 

I have some basic questions, on the TraMineR package. Unfortunately, i don't find some response elements. 
That is my problem: i create my seqdef object, and i create a state for the gaps NA's, named "gap": 
> Dddd.seq<-seqdef(Dddd, 1:12, left="late", right="out", gaps="gap", nr="no") 
And, in a second time, i would like to work precisely on sequences which contain this specific state '("gap"), i.e. sequences with an interruption. 
How i can do that? 

I try to use the seqecontain function. But: 

1 - I don't know what is a "seqelist" object, and if we have to use seqecreate function before using the seqecontain function. 
In other words, my question is: can we -and how- searching sequences that contain a specific state directly in the seqdef object? 

2 - For do this I try to use seqecreate function before, but R return this message: 
Erreur dans `seqelength<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c(12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, : 
s and len should be of the same size . 
I supposed than the error come from NA's in my original data set, but in my seqdef function I define state's label for all the eventualities (left, gap, right and nr). Anyway, i'v this info for my seqdef object: 
[>] min/max sequence length: 12/12 
So all my sequences have the same lenght. What's mean this error message? What are "s" and "len"? 

I thank you for TraMineR package, and for the help, 

And i hope than my english is not to bad!
