I'm not sure your question completely makes sense, but perhaps this will help:

set.seed(1)
d<- data.frame(matrix(floor(runif(100, max=10)), 10))  # Example data
d[apply(d == 9, 1, any), ]          # Select rows with 9 in any column

## Or more generally:
d[ , c(1, 2, 3)] == c(2, 2, 9)               #  Or maybe d == 0:9 to select on 
all columns
apply(d[ , c(1, 2, 3)] == c(2, 2, 9), 1, any)  # any() being the general `|` 
function here
d[apply(d[ ,c(1, 2, 3)] == c(2, 2, 9), 1, any), ]  # Finally: the rows we were 
looking for


A bit over-engineered, perhaps, but gets you to use some generally useful functions.

Hope this helps.

Dear list,

I'm looking for a way to select rows of a data.frame with changing number of 
columns (constraint) involved.

Assume a data (d) structure like


Var.1 Var.2 Var.3
9       2       1
2       9       5
1       2       1

I know the number of involved columns.

Is there a way to generate the following selection automatically (maybe for 
loop), so that it makes no difference if there are two or ten columns involved.

Selection:
d[d$Var.1==9 | d$Var.1==9 | d$Var.1==9  ,]


Does anybody know a way?

Thanks

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Andreas Kunzler
