It's going to depend how the coordinates are stored within the data frame. Do you perhaps know if they are factors or character strings? (I'm not familiar with the package). If you don't know, type str(NAMEOFYOUROBJECT) and we can help interpret the output.
Untested, I think this would actually work for both though: e[as.character(e$coordinates)=="(0,17)",] Michael On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 2:05 PM, Bailey, Daniel <bai...@spu.edu> wrote: > Thank you Sarah.
