  • $\begingroup$ Per my comment to Kguler, could you clarify: do you mean in your example any rows with columns other than second or third with a value greater than the second or third, or are you interested in only checking against one column? $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 3, 2014 at 23:37
  • $\begingroup$ Sorry for this late response and the confusion. I meant second or third column (for that matter any column) containing a value which is larger than a particular value (e.g. 10, etc). Your suggestion is very exciting. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 5, 2014 at 22:11
  • $\begingroup$ OK, I'm actually more confused re-reading your OP and reply. Say a row is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} (element is col number in this case). Is it that you want to specify some value, and then remove rows where only certain columns you specify have a value exceeding that, or is it you want to specify some columns, and delete any rows where any of the other columns in the row have a value exceeding any of the values in the specified columns (what I answered)? $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 5, 2014 at 22:18
  • $\begingroup$ I went ahead and updated my post with the alternative interpretation... let me know if that's what you meant. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 5, 2014 at 22:29
  • $\begingroup$ I want to specify some value, and then remove rows where only certain columns I specify have a value exceeding that. Sorry for all the confusions! the other interpretation of my OP sounds too complicated :). But then I am not sure I was clear $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 6, 2014 at 16:30
