The best way I found after these messages and with your help was

(i) selecting diferent rows

mat[(mat$first==c(###, ###, ...)),]

(ii) excluding diferent rows

mat[!(mat$first==c(###, ###, ...)),]

Because there were so many diferent options I'm posting this as a 'best option'
for the problem.

Thanks all

EJ
