replacing nested loop in r (with multiple criteria)

I am very new in r and the forum - I have searched the forum but cannot find a very simple description of how to do this.

I am trying to combine two datasets, A and B by overwriting records in A where certain criteria match with B. Here's an example of the data:

A:

date farmID ip lm
146  F10    10 0.5
147  F10    11 0.6
148  F10    6  0.6
149  F10    8  0.1
146  F11    10 0.4
147  F11    12 0.3
148  F11    4  0.5
149  F11    5  0.3

B:

farmID start end ip lm
F10    140   145 3  0.4
F10    140   147 15 0.8
F11    145   146 13 0.9
F11    146   149 20 0.7

I need to do the following: if date lies between start and end (not inclusive on end), and farmID are the same, then overwrite columns ip and lm in B

the result would be:

date farmID ip  lm
146  F10    15  0.8   <-- this one changed
147  F10    15  0.8   <-- this one changed
148  F10    6   0.6
149  F10    8   0.1
146  F11    20  0.7   <-- this one changed
147  F11    20  0.7   <-- this one changed
148  F11    20  0.7   <-- this one changed
149  F11    20  0.7   <-- this one changed

I first tried nested loops to go through the two tables, but I have around 800,000 records in A, so this is way too slow.

for (i in seq(1:nrow(A))){
  for (j in seq(1:nrow(B))){
    if (B$farmID[j] == A$farmID[i]){
      if (B$start[j] <= A$date[i] | A$date[i] > B$end[j]){
     
        A$lm[i] <- B$lm[j]
        A$ip[i] <- B$ip[j]
  
      }
    }
  }

I know that this is not the right approach for r and I should be using a vectorised function.

I found this quite similar post without the second criteria for farmID, so thought I could do this maybe with data.table - Replacing nested loop in R

Can someone please tell me a sensible way to perform this?

EDIT

This took a while to cut down to a useful size. I tried to select representative data.

3L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 4L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 
4L, 4L, 2L, 1L, 4L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 4L, 1L, 4L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 2L, 
1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 3L, 1L, 4L, 3L)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-780L))

One way to get that is to do a "range join" (aka "non-equi" join). This is supported in data.table , fuzzyjoin , and SQL in general (which can be done in native R using sqldf ).

data.table

library(data.table)
setDT(A)
setDT(B)
B[A, on = .(farmID == farmID, start <= date, end >= date)
  ][, ip := fcoalesce(ip, i.ip)
    ][, lm := fcoalesce(lm, i.lm)
      ][, c("i.ip", "i.lm") := NULL ][]
#    farmID start end ip  lm
# 1:    F10   146 146 15 0.8
# 2:    F10   147 147 15 0.8
# 3:    F10   148 148  6 0.6
# 4:    F10   149 149  8 0.1
# 5:    F11   146 146 13 0.9
# 6:    F11   146 146 20 0.7
# 7:    F11   147 147 20 0.7
# 8:    F11   148 148 20 0.7
# 9:    F11   149 149 20 0.7

fuzzyjoin

(starting with data.frame s, not data.table s)

library(fuzzyjoin)
out <- fuzzy_left_join(
  A, B,
  by = c(farmID = "farmID", date = "start", date = "end"),
  match_fun = list(`==`, `>=`, `<=`)
)
within(out, {
  farmID = farmID.x
  ip = ifelse(is.na(ip.y), ip.x, ip.y)
  lm = ifelse(is.na(lm.y), lm.x, lm.y)
  # remove side-specific versions of variables
  farmID.x <- farmID.y <- ip.x <- ip.y <- lm.x <- lm.y <- NULL
  # remove B$start/$end, not needed
  start <- end <- NULL
})
#   date  lm ip farmID
# 1  146 0.8 15    F10
# 2  147 0.8 15    F10
# 3  148 0.6  6    F10
# 4  149 0.1  8    F10
# 5  146 0.9 13    F11
# 6  146 0.7 20    F11
# 7  147 0.7 20    F11
# 8  148 0.7 20    F11
# 9  149 0.7 20    F11

SQL

If the data is already in a SQL DBMS before you load it, then it would be better to let the SQL server itself do this step ... if not, you can use sqldf to do it for you.

sqldf::sqldf(
  "select A.date, A.farmID,
     coalesce(B.ip, A.ip) as ip, coalesce(B.lm, A.lm) as lm
   from A left join B
     on A.farmID = b.farmID
     and A.date between B.start and B.end"
)
#   date farmID ip  lm
# 1  146    F10 15 0.8
# 2  147    F10 15 0.8
# 3  148    F10  6 0.6
# 4  149    F10  8 0.1
# 5  146    F11 13 0.9
# 6  146    F11 20 0.7
# 7  147    F11 20 0.7
# 8  148    F11 20 0.7
# 9  149    F11 20 0.7

I formulated this answer before your bigger-data edit, using this data instead:

A <- structure(list(date = c(146L, 147L, 148L, 149L, 146L, 147L, 148L, 149L), farmID = c("F10", "F10", "F10", "F10", "F11", "F11", "F11", "F11"), ip = c(10L, 11L, 6L, 8L, 10L, 12L, 4L, 5L), lm = c(0.5, 0.6, 0.6, 0.1, 0.4, 0.3, 0.5, 0.3)), row.names = c(NA, -8L), class = "data.frame")
B <- structure(list(farmID = c("F10", "F10", "F11", "F11"), start = c(140L, 140L, 145L, 146L), end = c(145L, 147L, 146L, 149L), ip = c(3L, 15L, 13L, 20L), lm = c(0.4, 0.8, 0.9, 0.7)), row.names = c(NA, -4L), class = "data.frame")
