"NA-friendly" operator

 vec<-c(3,4,5,NA,1,NA,9,NA,1)
subset(vec, vec > 2)

subset(vec, vec == 1)

Hi everyone,

 i'm looking for a "NA-friendly" operator

I explain :

        vec<-c(3,4,5,NA,1,NA,9,NA,1)

        vec[vec == 1]  # NA  1 NA NA  1

I dont want the NA's :
        vec[vec == 1 & ! is.na(vec)]# 1  1
is the same as
        vec[vec %in% 1] # 1  1

%in% is NA-friendly :)

But if i want >2 without the NA's :

        vec[vec>2] #3  4  5 NA NA  9 NA

if i dont want the NA i have to do :

        vec[vec>2 & !is.na(vec)] #3  4  5  9

is there an op?rator to directly do that?

any idea?

thx a lot.
