this is a basic question in Mathematica, I hope to get help to resolve it, How I can extract elements from matrics for example I have 

list1 = {{"Dis", "S1", "S2", "S3", "S4", "S5", "S6"},
         {"D1", 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0}, {"D2", 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1}, {"D3", 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1},
         {"D4", 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1}, {"D5", 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1}, {"D6", 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1},
         {"D7", 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0}};
List2 = {{"Dis", "S7", "S8", "S4", "S9", "S10", "S3", "S11", "S12", "S5", "S1"},
         {"D2", 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0}, {"D8", 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0},
         {"D9", 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1}, {"D10", 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0},
         {"D6", 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1}, {"D11", 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1},
         {"D12", 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {"D13", 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1},
         {"D14", 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1}, {"D15", 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0},
         {"D16", 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1}, {"D17", 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0}};

Imagine that D = represent Diseases the common diseases in between List 1 and List2 is 

DL1 = Delete[List1[[All, 1]], {{1}}];
DL2 = Delete[List2[[All, 1]], {{1}}];
CommonD = Intersection[DL1, Dl2]
(* {D2, D6} *)

Does anybody have an idea can help me to extract all the element start with {"D2", "D6"} in order to obtain an output like this: from List1

{{"D2", 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1}, {"D6", 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1}}

Another list from List2

{{"D2", 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0}, {"D6", 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1}}

Anybody have any insight? Thanks!

use something like 

Flatten[(s=#;Select[list1,First@#==s&]),1]&/@{"D2","D6"}

{{"D2", 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1}, {"D6", 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1}}

  • $\begingroup$ thank you so much, but if the '''CommonD//Dimension= 1000 not just two elements like above, output like that ={D2, D6, D3, Dn} $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ this is not a problem.Just put commonD instead of {"D2","D6"} at the end of the code $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I got output empty with error the out above{D2, D6} without double quote ,Flatten[(s = #; Select[List1, First@# == s &]), 1] & /@ {CommonD} $\endgroup$
