Hello,

Please learn how to use dput(), it's not your first post.
And try the following.


myMatrix <- data.matrix(read.table(text="

I think the data.matrix transformation is a bad idea. It forces the numeric values to be character and the collation sequence is driven off the first letter, so "19" is less than "9", and "1010" is less than "2"
Name            Age
ANTONY        27
IMRAN           30
RAJ                   22
NAHAS           32
GEO                 42
", header=TRUE))


Why not just:

myDF <- read.table(text="Name            Age
ANTONY        27
IMRAN           30
RAJ                   22
NAHAS           32
GEO                 42
", header=TRUE)

MinMax <- c(MIN = 25,MAX=35)
# using a named vector rather than a two column dataframe

> myDF[ myDF$Age > MinMax["MIN"] & myDF$Age < MinMax["MAX"] , ]
    Name Age
1 ANTONY  27
2  IMRAN  30
4  NAHAS  32

MinMaxArray  <- data.frame(MIN = 25,MAX=35)

inx <- MinMaxArray[[ "MIN" ]] <= myMatrix[, "Age"] & myMatrix[, "Age"] <= MinMaxArray[[ "MAX" ]]
myMatrix[ inx , ]

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Here i have a Matrix

MyMatrix <-

Name            Age
---------           -------
ANTONY        27
IMRAN           30
RAJ                   22
NAHAS           32
GEO                 42

and here i have an array with Minimum and Maximum values.
MinMaxArray  <- data.frame(MIN = 25,MAX=35)
MIN     MAX
------     --------
25           35
------------------------------------------------------
Now what is, i need to get a matrix by removing the rows which is NOT coming the "Age"-column in between the MIN and MAX value. Is it possible to avoid
"for-loop", bcz its a huge matrix.

so, final matrix looks like this,

Name            Age
---------           -------
ANTONY        27
IMRAN           30
NAHAS           32


- Thanks in advance,
Antony.
