Hello List,

this should be simple, but cannot figure it out. I am trying to subset a data.frame like this:

data4
      users                time
1      user5    2009-12-01 14:09:58
2      user1    2009-12-01 14:40:16
3      user8    2009-12-04 08:18:37
4      user6    2009-12-04 08:18:37
5     user83    2009-12-04 08:18:37
6     user82    2009-12-04 08:18:37
7     user31    2009-12-04 08:18:37
8     user85    2009-12-04 08:18:37
9     user33    2009-12-04 08:18:37
10     user2    2010-01-05 07:18:36

I would like to subset it and retain, let's say, only the data with time < '2010-01-05 07:18:36', but I have no idea about the sintax to do that.

is something like this close to the correct way:

active<-data4['time'<= as.POSIXct("2010-01-05 07:18:36", origin="1970-01-01 00:00:00-00")]

Close. Try:

active <- data4[data4$time <= as.POSIXct("2010-01-05 07:18:36", origin="1970-01-01 00:00:00-00") , ]

Or:

active <- subset(data4, time <= as.POSIXct("2010-01-05 07:18:36", origin="1970-01-01 00:00:00-00") )
