You don't - and you don't need which() either. R is pretty good
at indexing things in very conveniant ways. I'll assume we have
the data you gave as an example in a data.frame - I'll call 'df':
# create example data
df <- data.frame(cands=100:105, devs=c(120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620))
threshold <- 400
# get all rows with devs above threshold
df[df$devs>threshold, ]
# alternative way giving the same result
subset(df, devs>threshold)
The above methods will work if devs and cands are separate
vectors, too:
# get two vectors of equal length
cands <- df$cands
devs <- df$devs
cands[devs>threshold]
# alternative
subset(cands, devs>threshold)
For details and more examples have a look at the "Introduction to
R" - especially section 2.7 "Index vectors; selecting and
modifying subsets of a data set".
