'&&' 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
