Dear all,

I have a data frame that looks like this:

dat

             V1      V2      V3
1          0.000       2 554889
2          2.001       0    9978
3          0.342       3    5263
4          123.000      0    3209
5          0.004       0    2434


I want to get a subset of that data frame where
the entry in V1 has (x.000) as its decimal.

yielding

wanted_dat
             V1      V2      V3
1          0.000       2 554889
2          123.000   0    3209

What's the way to do it in R?

At least two possibilities:

# See if the truncated value == value
# See ?trunc
> subset(dat, trunc(V1) == V1)
   V1 V2     V3
1   0  2 554889
4 123  0   3209


# See if V1 mod 1 == 0
> subset(dat, V1 %% 1 == 0)
   V1 V2     V3
1   0  2 554889
4 123  0   3209


See ?subset as well.

HTH,
