data.frame

Suppose my data looks like this:

2372  Kansas KS2000111 HUMBOLDT, CITY OF    ATRAZINE    1.3 05/07/2006
9104  Kansas KS2000111 HUMBOLDT, CITY OF    ATRAZINE   0.34 07/23/2006
9212  Kansas KS2000111 HUMBOLDT, CITY OF    ATRAZINE   0.33 02/11/2007
2094  Kansas KS2000111 HUMBOLDT, CITY OF    ATRAZINE    1.4 05/06/2007
16763 Kansas KS2000111 HUMBOLDT, CITY OF    ATRAZINE   0.61 05/11/2009
1076  Kansas KS2000111 HUMBOLDT, CITY OF METOLACHLOR   0.48 05/12/2002
1077  Kansas KS2000111 HUMBOLDT, CITY OF METOLACHLOR    0.3 05/07/2006

I want to be able to subset by the Analyte and a partial match on the date(namely I just want the year). I have been trying this, but I know it isn't quite right.

 data[data$Analyte=="ATRAZINE" & grep("2006",as.character(data$Date)),]

Any suggestions?

This may seem as a typical plyr problem, but I have something different in mind. Here's the function that I want to optimize (skip the for loop). # dummy data set.seed(1985) lst <- list(a=1:10, b=11:15, c=16:20) m <- matrix(round(runif(200, 1, 7)), 10) m <- as.data.frame(m) dfsub <-… >>> More
