Quoting Mat <matthias.we...@fnt.de>:

Hello togehter,

i have a data.frame like this one:

    No. Date                 last change
1  1     2012-10-04     change settings
2  1     2012-10-20     bug fix
3  1     2012-11-05     final
4  2     2013-01-15    new task
5  2     2013-01-16    Bug fix
6  2     2013-01-17    final


Calling your data frame, x and assuming the `last change` column is character,

x[x$`last change` == "final",]

will give what you want.  If `last change` is a factor column (likely),


x[as.character(x$`last change`) == "final",]


If you don't have spaces in your column names, you'd avoid using the backticks.

HTH



now i want a new data.frame, who show me only the newest entries according
to the No.
The solution look like this one:

   No. Date                last change
1  1     2012-11-05   final
2  2     2013-01-17   final

can anyone help me?

thanks.

Mat
