Hello,

I cannot reproduce the error but I coerce to class "Date" first.


MOSCFD50[[1]] <- as.Date(MOSCFD50[[1]])
names(MOSCFD50) <- c("date", "value")

# Your subset
Year <- subset(MOSCFD50, date > "1998-01-01" & date < "2005-12-31")

# Another way, if there are NA's, use which(i)
i <- MOSCFD50$date > "1998-01-01" & MOSCFD50$date < "2005-12-31"
Year2 <- MOSCFD50[i, ]

identical(Year, Year2)
#[1] TRUE


Data:


MOSCFD50 <- read.table(text = "
1997-11-23 -2.91709629064653

Dear Bert and Jeff,
Thank you for looking at this.
I am surprised my message was not in plain text. It has been
configured to send message to the list in plain text earlier before.

The data again please.

The first column is  date and the second is another data of interest.

The date is long but note sequential. Runs randomly from 1953 to 2019.

I would like to select any range of date from year A to year B.

Thank you again for your help.
Best

I would guess that you first need to convert your textual dates to a

The events happen randomly and so the date is non-sequential. It run
form
1953 to 2019.

I would like to select all the events/dates between 1998 to 2005.

One of the things I tried is:
Year <- subset(MOSCFD50, date > "1998-01-01" & date < "2005-12-31").

But it didn't work.

I would be thankful if you could please redirect me.

Thank you very much.
Best regards
Ogbos
