A) Please remove "->" from your vocabulary. Also, always put spaces on either 
side of an assignment so the parser doesn't get confused.

B) This is a pretty basic question.
("a"==my.data$letters.1.10.) is a vector of logical values.
( ("a"==my.data$letters.1.10.) & ("k"==my.data$letters.1.20.) ) is a 
(potentially) more restrictive vector of logical values. 
If you index just one vector you can get one value: my.data$letters.1.10.[ 
("a"==my.data$letters.1.10.) & ("k"==my.data$letters.1.20.) ], though it seems 
easier to just specify "a".

How about rownames(my.data) <- my.data$letters.1.10. ?

Dear helpers,

how can I extract only the values from a row in a data frame? Using
[X,] doesn't do the trick:

> data.frame(letters[1:10],letters[11:20])->my.data
> my.data[1,]
letters.1.10. letters.11.20.
1 a k

I would like to be able to extract only the values "a" and "k" without
getting the row names and column names with them. I'm asking because I
want to assign the character values from a row as the names of the
columns of the data frame.

Best
Sverre
