Hello,


late answer, but I just looked in the archive...
...and found your question.

Maybe it's too long ago, but as I has some time for and fun with it,
here a way how to achieve it:



intersect( which(mydf[,2] <=5 ), which( mydf[,3] >= 500))


This will result in integer(0), which means, no matching data found.

intersect( which(mydf[,2] <=8 ), which( mydf[,3] >= 500))
would bring you 3 as an answer.
This is the index 3, which means third row does match.

So, you dont need a loop, which I assume you would like to use,
when using i as an index (maybe in the range 1:nrow(length.unique.info).

Ciao,
   Oliver
