Ah, those can be used to index the rows:
# create a new column with TRUE for the first row of each Vin:
ladata2$First <- !duplicated(ladata2$Vin)
# view only those rows:
ladata2[ladata2$First,]

Steve,
Your example seems to work quite well, except I get a summary printout
showing all the true and false values.
> !duplicated(ladata2$Vin)
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
What I would like to do is have the true/false values appended to a column
at the end of my dataset so that when done, I can selectively either keep or
drop rows based on whether they are true or false. I have tried to get this
done with several variable creation statements with no luck. Any ideas on
how I can modify your code to get the following:
Plate, Date, True.False
Plate1, 013110, true
Plate 1, 010110, false
Plate 1, 010109, false
Plate 2, 020110, true
To everyone else, thanks greatly for your examples! I have learned from
each of your suggestions.
