 Hi,

I think droplevels(df) is what you are looking for.

the COUNTRY I just need US and AU,first I get a subset to contain just these 
two countries:        submydata=subset(mydata,COUNTRY%in%c("US","AU"))       
factor(submydata$COUNTRY) but after this when I get str of mydata again I have 
the same data frame with no changes in COUNTRY, however I want mydata to be 
like: 
       $ TE : num 40 40 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 40 ...        $ TR : num 49 49 28 
28 28 28 28 28 28 49 ...       $ COUNTRY : Factor w/ 2 levels "","AU","US",..:
