Subset returns a subsets of vectors, matrices or data frames which meet conditions. There are some excellent examples in the help. Here is an example similar to your email. Create some data: Var1<-sample(1:10,20,replace=TRUE) Var2<-sample(1:10,20,replace=TRUE) the.old.data<-cbind(Var1,Var2) head(the.old.data) Var1 Var2 [1,] 8 10 [2,] 1 10 the.new.data <- subset(the.old.data, Var2==1) the.new.data HTH, Jeremy On Friday 18 January 2008 10:33:51 LA SPINA, MICHELANGELO wrote: > I've a file with several data six variables, three quantitative and three > qualitative, I would like to select a group of data from the file to > analyze then, i.e: my file is like that (but with 6 variables): > > Var1 Var2 > 2 1 > 5 1 > 8 1 > 7 2 > 3 2 > 8 2 > > I want to use only the data where var2 is "1" -- Jeremy Baxter, Statistics Department, Rhodes University, South Africa.
