Example data frame:
a = c("Alpha", "Beta", "Gamma", "Beeta", "Alpha", "beta") b = c(1:6) example = data.frame("Title" = a, "Vals" = b) > example Title Vals 1 Alpha 1 2 Beta 2 3 Gamma 3 4 Beeta 4 5 Alpha 5 6 beta 6 > I would like to be able to get a new data frame from this data frame containing only rows that match a certain string. In this case it could for instance be the string "eta". I have tried various ways of using agrep and grep, but so far I have not found anything that worked. Thankyou in advance for your help!
