[R] select n rows

[Patrick Burns]

Your question is ambiguous -- at least
to me.  The posting guide:
http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html

suggests that examples can be helpful to
explain what you want.

 From the main statement I think the answer
might be:

mymatrix[seq(1, nrow(mymatrix), by=8), ]

 From the 'i.e.' clause I'm thinking:

mymatrix[1:8, ]
