Hello,
The "apply" function seems to behave oddly with my code below NB : H1 is a data frame. (data in the attached file.)
# the first lines are:
1 02/01/2008 0.000000  0  0 0.000000   0
2 03/01/2008 0.000000  0  0 0.000000   0

The aim of the code is to extract those lines for which there is a strictly 
positive value in the second column AND in one of the others:
reper=function(x){as.numeric(x[2]>1 & any(x[3:length(x)]>1))} TAB1= H1[which(apply(H1,1,reper)>0),] Strangely, this is OK for all the lines, except for the last one. In fact, in H1, the last 2 lines are:
258 29/12/2008 1.476535 1.187615  0 0.000000   0
259 30/12/2008 0.000000 1.147888  0 0.000000   0
Obviously, line 258 should be the last line of TAB1, but it is not the case (it does not appear at 
all) and I really don't understand why. This is all the more strange since applying the function 
"reper" only to this line 258 gives a "1" as expected...
Can someone help ?

Works for me...

You are crossing the creek to fetch water, though:

reper <- function(x) x[2]>1 & any(x[3:length(x)]>1)
TAB1 <-  H1[apply(H1,1,reper),]

or even

TAB1 <-  H1[ H1[2] > 1  & apply(H1[3:6] > 1, 1, any),]
