You're missing a comma in the subscript. The comma tells it that your test is for the appropriate rows.
You want: finest[finest[,1] > 10^3,] Hope this helps, Matt Wiener -----Original Message----- From: Edmond Ng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 2:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] how to show a section of a matrix neatly (or row by row) that satisfies some condition Hi all, I want to show the rows of a matrix (100x3) of which some of its elements satisfy a certain condition. In particular, how can I display the 2 rows of my matrix one after the other and not all all elements of column 1 first, then column 2 and so on. See the following. > finest[finest[,1] > 10^3] [1] 4.960632e+13 3.612619e+04 7.668204e+12 1.001911e+04 8.886153e-01 [6] 6.130777e-01 > dim(finest) [1] 100 3 Many thanks in advance.
