Subject: Removing rows if certain elements are found in character string
In-Reply-To: <4FF22DB4.6090407@sapo.pt>

Hi,
I didn't think about the situation where D comes before T.? I changed my code a little to accommodate that.

dat2<-read.table(text="

Subject: Re: [R] Removing rows if certain elements are found in character string

Hello,

Try regular expressions instead.
In this data.frame, I've changed row nr.4 to have a row with 'D' as 
first non-zero character.

dd <- read.table(text="
ch? ?  count
1? 0000000000D0000000000000000000000000000000000000 0.007368

", header=TRUE)
dd

i1 <- grepl("^([0D]|[0d])*$", dd$ch)
i2 <- grepl("^0*[Dd]", dd$ch)

dd[!i1, ]
dd[!i2, ]
dd[!(i1 | i2), ]


Hope this helps,
