Dear R-Help, I have a data frame and a vector
df=data.frame(Letter=c("Z","Q","R","A","E","F"), Number=c(11,32,4,1,9,3)) v=c("C","Q","R","A","E") >From df, I'd like to construct a subset of the field "Number", with deletions dictated by the vector, v, of letters. I've succeeded in doing this for a single deletion (for example Letter="Q") with the following df$Number[df$Letter != v[2]] but am struggling do more than one at a time. For example, df$Number[df$Letter != v[2:5]] gives the error: Warning messages: 1: Is.na(e1) | is.na(e2) : longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length 2: In..... Perhaps there is a much easier way to approach this... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
