[R] Another simple q - removing negative values

To leave x with only the non-negative elements, you can use x[x >= 0].  Also
see the function "subset".

Hope this helps,

Subject: [R] Another simple q - removing negative values



Sorry folks but again I have failed in my understanding of how to do a very
simple thing.  I've read the various texts and searched the help archives
but no positive result so far.

I want to remove all the rows in a data frame where one of the variables has
negative values.  In approx Stata pseudocode:

   drop _all, if( x < 0 )

Please either point me to relevant sections of the docs or supply me with
solution - I'm sure it's very simple.

Michael
