did you mean
subset(dfx, dx > as.POSIXct("2007-06-01 16:00:00") & 14 > as.POSIXlt(dx)$hour
& as.POSIXlt(dx)$hour < 10)
# "&" instead of ","
I didn't completely "parse" the meaning of these conditions but the
way you have it, there are three arguments to subset, first two as
expected but the third one (select) would be for selecting columns and
you have just one in your data frame. (?subset)
