'&&' is scalar 'and' you want to use
the vector 'and' which is '&'.

Hi,
I have a data-frame,  r (column names below), that needs subsetting:
date, time, strain, gene, deltact

When I try to subset r by applying selection criteria on two columns I get
an empty data frame. For example I would like to extract all rows that have
time == 0h and strain == ROC.
So, t<- subset(r, (r$time == "0h"&&  r$strain == "ROC"), select= c(time,
strain, gene, deltact)) returns an empty data-frame.
Is it not possible to subset based on two criteria?
TIA
Anjan
