Use the first argument of the "[" function to select rows that meet your
requirement. I constructed values in hte unit square and select only items in
hte corners by excluding values within 0.5 units of the center, (0.5,0.5)
dfrm <- data.frame(ID=1:100, lat=runif(100), long=runif(100),
Datetime=as.POSIXct(runif(100)*10000,origin="1970-01-01") )
reduced <- dfrm[ (dfrm$lat - .5)^2+(dfrm$long-.5)^2 > .25 , ]
with( reduced, plot(lat,long) )

Probably should have plotted (long, lat), and it might have been more eser freindly to use subset instead of `[ logical-vector, ]` but I think this demonstrates the essential steps. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA
