[R] can not extract rows which match a string

[William Michels]

Hello,

I expected the code you posted to work just as you presumed it would,
but without a reproducible example--I can only speculate as to why it
didn't.

In the t1 dataframe, if indeed you only want to remove rows of the
t1$sex_chromosome_aneuploidy_f22019_0_0 column which are undefined,
you could try the following:

> t11 <- t1[ !is.na(t1$sex_chromosome_aneuploidy_f22019_0_0), ]

HTH, Bill.
