getting rid of certain dataframe rows

["Leeds, Mark" <mleeds@mlp.com>]

i don't  think this is so hard but i don't know how to do it.

 

i have a dataframe and one of the columns is data$date.

( there are many other columns also ).

 

the format for the data$date is dd-mmm-yy and it's a string.

 

i have a list of dates ( say 15 dates ) for which i want to get rid of

the whole row that has that date as the value for data$date.

 

for example, i know that i want to get rid of the whole

row for which data$date is "02-Jan-02".

 

i can do the statement multiple times so there

is no need to be clever about doing it all in one statement.

if the list of dates that i have is 15,

i can type the same command 15 times, that's not a problem.

 

thanks a lot and sorry to bother everyone.
