We are looking for something along the lines of plot(table1[table1$var2==or("a","b","c","d"),"var1"]) would be handy, with the potential or() function leading to what plot(table1[table1$var2=="a" | table1$var2=="b" | table1$var2=="c" | table1$var2=="d","var1"]) would do. thanks for any hint ---------------------------------------------- Dr. Sebastian Leuzinger University of Basel, Department of Environmental Science Institute of Botany Schönbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel ph 0041 (0) 61 2673511 fax 0041 (0) 61 2673504 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] web http://pages.unibas.ch/botschoen/leuzinger ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
