Dear all,

Suppose I have this data frame:


> data_main
   V1  V2
foo    13.1
bar   12.0
qux   10.4
cho  20.33
pox   8.21

And I want to split the data into two parts
first part are the one contain in the source array:

> src
[1] "bar" "pox"

and the other one the complement.

In the end we hope to get this two dataframes:

> data_child1
     V1 V2
bar   13.1
pox   8.21

and

> data_child2_complement
foo 13.1
qux 10.4
cho 20.33

Is there a compact way to do it in R?
