[R] unique

[Rainer Schuermann]

If I understand your problem correctly (as Milan has pointed out, sample data and code would help enormously) this should get you where you want:

unique( shopdata$name[ shopdata$employee > 10 ] )

If not, something is wrong from the outset (or with my understanding, but then  ...  see above)!

Rgds,
Rainer
