Dear Jeff, Thanks a lot for your reply. I was just curious about this thing about grep that it can perform this kind of thing or not. Otherwise with numerical comparison I know it is very easy to do.Like-
df <- df[df$V5 >= 10, ] Thanks a lot for your help. Thanking you, Warm Regards Vikas Bansal Msc Bioinformatics Kings College London ________________________________________ From: Jeff Newmiller [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 1:02 AM To: Bansal, Vikas; Phil Spector Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [R] Deleting rows and store the deleted rows in new data frame You can, but you would have to convert them to character first. It would be more sensible to use vector numeric comparisons. I strongly recommend that you go read "An Introduction to R", since you are asking questions that are explained there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
