ah sorry, here's an example:
> dm = cbind(1:2,11:12,101:102)
> dm
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 11 101
[2,] 2 12 102> idx=cbind(c(1,2),c(2,3))
> idx
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 1 2
[2,] 2 3the result I want to get: 1 11 12 102
that is: each row of idx gives the column index in dm

Hi,
I have the following indexing problem, can you help me please ?
Given:
dm = a data.frame or a matrix dm,
idx = a 2 columns (or any number) matrix with the same number of rows as dm
I want get a subset of dm, for each row, the columns which specified by idx.
thank you, diana
Diana,
From what I gather it appears as if you want to split dm by all the unique rows of idx? Is that right? If so, you can do the following:
x <- split(dm, do.call("paste", as.data.frame(idx))
This will split dm into a list with each element a subset of dm corresponding to a unique row in idx. The length of the x will be the number of unique rows in idx.
If this is not what you want, please provide an example and what you expect to see.
