Much simpler would be:

act2[!duplicated(act2$Rep),] #use the negation of the duplicated function on $Rep and indexing

         Date    Dtime Hour Min Second               Rep
51 2006-02-22 14:52:18   14  52     18  useractivity_act
52 2006-02-22 14:52:18   14  52     18                 4
58 2006-02-22 14:52:52   14  52     52                 3
60 2006-02-22 14:54:42   14  54     42 useractivity_idle

Cannot reproduce the blank line though.

I want to change act_2 to
        Date    Dtime Hour Min Second               Rep

51 2006-02-22 14:52:18   14  52     18  useractivity_act

52 2006-02-22 14:52:18   14  52     18                 4
58 2006-02-22 14:52:52   14  52     52                 3
60 2006-02-22 14:54:42   14  54     42 useractivity_idle

in other word, I want to keep 1st if there are many repeated value, I made the program as:


rm_r<-function(act_2){
dm<-dim(act_2)[1]-1
for(i in 2:dm){

if(act_2$Rep[j]==act_2$Rep[i]){
  act_2<-act_2[-j,]
}else{
act_2<-act_2
}
}
return(act_2)
}

But it only remove one row..whats the problem? How should i modify it? Thanks alot.

Tammy
