Dear all,

i am stuck with a syntax problem.

i have a matrix which has about 500 rows and 6 columns.
now i want to kick some data out.
i want create a new matrix which is basically the old one except for all
entries which have a 4 in the 5 column AND a 1 in the 6th column.

i tried the following but couldn´t get a new matrix, just some wierd  
errors:

newmatrix=oldmatrix[,2][oldmatrix[,5]==4]&&oldmatrix[,2][oldmatrix[,6] 
==1]

all i get is:
numeric(0)

does anybody have an idea how to fix this one ?

thx in advance

matthias
