If your data frame is called 'df', then
something like the following should work:
df[ apply(as.matrix(df[,-1]), 1, function(x) any(x == "P")), ]
This creates a logical vector as long as the
number of rows. As Bill Dunlap recently noted,
'apply' really wants a matrix and not a data frame.

Dear all,
I would like to know how to subset a data.frame by rows.
Example:
Probesets 34884 34888 34892
1 100009676_at A A A
2 10001_at P P P
3 10002_at A A A
4 10003_at A A A
5 100048912_at P A A
For this data.frame I want to retrieve only the rows where at least one ´P´ is
found. So in this example it would be rows 2 and 5.
Best regards and thanks in advance
