Much simpler would be:
act2[!duplicated(act2$Rep),] #use the negation of the duplicated
function on $Rep and indexing
Date Dtime Hour Min Second Rep
51 2006-02-22 14:52:18 14 52 18 useractivity_act
52 2006-02-22 14:52:18 14 52 18 4
58 2006-02-22 14:52:52 14 52 52 3
60 2006-02-22 14:54:42 14 54 42 useractivity_idle
Cannot reproduce the blank line though.
