Hi,
There's probably an easier or more readable way to do it, but:
df <- data.frame(cbind(letters, var= runif(26, 2, 3)))
df[df$letters[grep("[G]", df$letters, ignore.case=TRUE)],]
Cheers!!

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public
order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have
the Romans ever done for us?

Subject: [R] Selecting rows based on contents of string

Hi there,
I have a data frame with a column named "Flags", whose contents are strings
containing any of the following characters, multiple characters allowed:
A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
Here is the head:
GeocodeID PlaceID CountyCode CBSACode StateProvCode PropertyTypeGroupID
Flags
1 0 0 0 0
AK 1 ABC
2 0 0 0 0
AK 2 AC
3 0 0 0 0
AK 3 BC
4 0 0 0 0
AK 4 CD
5 0 0 0 0
AK 14 CD
6 0 0 0 0
AK 15 ACDE
7 0 0 0 0
AL 1
I want to select only the rows whose "Flag" element contains the character
G. Is there a simple way to do this, or should I perhaps come up with a
different system of flags, which is totally up to me?
Thanks,
Alex
