You might want to put some debugging statements to see what the values are. As you say the example seems to work, so look at the data:
> MultiLotBldgs2.. <- MultiLotBldgs..[Is$NotTooSmall.X, ] > # some debugging statements > str(MultiLotBldgs2..) 'data.frame': 4 obs. of 3 variables: $ Bldgid: num 1000 1001 1002 1003 $ Maplot: num 20001 30000 30001 40000 $ Area : num 170 50 100 100 > str(Is) List of 1 $ NotTooSmall.X: Named logi [1:6] FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:6] "10001" "10002" "1001" "1002" ... > print(sum(Is$NotTooSmall)) [1] 4 > > On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 6:58 PM, ROLL Josh F <jr...@lcog.org> wrote: > Sorry Just a generic list > > Is<-list() > > forgot to add that from my actual code > ------------------------------ > *From:* jim holtman [mailto:jholt...@gmail.com] > *Sent:* Wednesday, February 17, 2010 3:58 PM > *To:* ROLL Josh F > *Cc:* r-help@r-project.org > *Subject:* Re: [R] Procedure not working for actual data > > Your example does not work since "Is" is not defined.
