Hi,
I would like to select a few cases (for example cases corresponding to 
sex=male) to make summary for another variable.
How can I do this.
Thanks for your help

presuming that you have a data.frame look at "?subset()", e.g.,

# dat is your data.frame
subset(dat, sex=="male")


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

Look at ?tapply. E.g.
  tapply(x, group, summary)
Z
#
subset(your.data.frame, your.data.frame$sex == 'male')
