subset(my.df, IDX %in% c(17,42) )

(I find subset to give clearer code than: df[which(df$colname <logical- cond>) , ], plus it created its own environment. Downside is that it is recommended only for interactive use.)

I would like to subset by dataframe by matching all rows that have any value from a list of values. I can get it to work if I have exactly one value,
I'm not
sure how to do it with a list of values though.

This works and gives me exactly one line:
my.df[ which( mydf$IDX==17)), ]

I would like to do something like this:
my.df[ which( mydf$IDX==c(17, 42), ]

Obviously that won't work, but I hope the meaning is clear.
What's the right way to express this?
