select a row in a data.frame

Hi Gianni,

First the chide, you are asking a general (very beginner) R question on
the Geospatial Special Interest Group mailing list, which isn't the
right list for your question. The closest to the correct list is R-Help,
but this is really something one learns from books on R, which there are
a number of, and often available in online in PDF (start with An
Introduction to R, http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf).

Now the answer to your question:

BestResult_R <- newData[newData$result == max(newData$result), ]

thanks for help,

I have a data.frame "newData" with 7 columns and 91 rows. i wish to find the
row in the second column "X" with the max value and save all 7 values (=all
columns) in a new data.frame

 # max value result for row
 Max.Result <- max(newData$result)
 select the row with the max value
 row <- which(Max.Result  == max(Max.Result ))
 BestResult_R <- newData[row,]

but I have a same problems to set right the code.

thanks

Gianni
