Yeah -- *that* is actually what I was trying to accomplish; thank you
for the help! (Not to detract from Bert's suggestion -- that also
works. But Peter's is what I had been trying to accomplish before I
gave in & sent my plea.)
[This is actually a part of a function I'm cobbling up to filter
data.frames by values of a given column, where the acceptable bounds for
the values can vary depending on the contents of a different column.
E.g., we might expect certain "performance-related" metrics to have
different ranges of interest for different classes of hardware.]
And the function appears to be working so far (though I'll be poking and
prodding it a bit yet).
Peace,
david
