I'm assuming the column names really are X1 and X2, literally. If so, why not
y1y2_dash <- subset(y1y2, X1 > 0 & X2 > 0) ? Note: Here you need '&', not '&&'.

X1 X2 31.0 9.0 11.0 1.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 8.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 2.0 2.0 18.0 3.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 10.0 0.0 6.0 0.0 ... The new data will be X1' X2' 31.0 9.0 11.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 18.0 3.0 I tried to write the function as: y1y2 <- read.csv("genX1X2.csv", header=FALSE) (y1y2[,1] > 0 ) && (y1y2[,2]>0) cbind(y1y2[,1],y1y2[,2]) Thank you for your help. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
