It's hard to read your table, but I think this could be your problem:
daylength = "long.day" is always TRUE
Testing for equality uses "==" so
daylength == "long.day" may or may not always be TRUE

Subject: [R] Simple question about extracting a subset of data
Hello all,
I have a (hopefully) simple question.
If I have a data table (named "x") such as this:
daylengthleavesflowering.datefruits
LD1.90055581.64353250.76668986
LD-0.9399410-1.2592968-0.60141837
LD1.0222946-0.9697459 -0.60141837
SD-0.2668132-0.9697459-0.47363322
SD -1.5892393-0.70540660.66469785
SD -0.5222961-0.7054066-0.10701187
How do create a new data table that contains, e.g., only the long-day plants?
I have tried to do this using the "subset" command, but it seems to ignore me:
x.sd <- subset(x, daylength = "long.day", select = root.weight:stem.diameter)
This returns exactly the same data table I had before (including both long and
short day plants).
So how do I do this properly? Actual code would be of the most direct help to
me, since I am new at this. Thank you very much!
