Dear Gundala,
Try this:

# Data set
data_main=read.table(textConnection("V1  V2
foo    13.1
bar   12.0
qux   10.4
cho  20.33
pox   8.21"),header=TRUE)
attach(data_main)
closeAllConnections()


# Criteria
src=c('bar','pox')

# data_child1
data_main[V1%in%src,]

# data_child2_complement
data_main[!V1%in%src,]


See ?"%in%" for more information.


HTH,


Jorge
