[R] Weird operator behaviour

Hi,

I have a dataset called 'fish'.  fish$Species returns extract 1.  When I
use
fish$Species != c("CRA","PHC"), i.e. I want all species
except "CRA" and
"PHC", I get extract 2 which is blatantly wrong.  Can anyone see what
I'm
doing wrong? 

Regards,
James

[R] Weird operator behaviour

Argument recycling is coming into play here with !=.  I am guessing you want

! fish$Species %in% c("CRA", "PHC")

?
