Hi I have a data frame which looks like the following (it is a table of commit logs to a source repo). The Author column is treated as a factor, by virtue of stringsAsFactors being set to TRUE, so I can extract the number of commits per author by using table(logs$Author).
Is there an elegant way to extract all subsets of this frame by the Author column - i.e. that returns say a list of data frames, each containing just the records for a specific value of Author? Thanks Rory >head(logs) Revision Author Date LinesChanged 1 6 user1 13/11/2007 15:41:53 488 2 11 user1 14/11/2007 09:04:43 3 3 12 user2 16/11/2007 12:26:04 522 4 13 user1 16/11/2007 12:27:55 90 5 14 user3 19/11/2007 09:32:54 159 6 15 user1 21/11/2007 13:38:41 1986 *********************************************************************************** The Royal Bank of Scotland plc.
