>
> Hi listers,
>
> If I have a dataset with 1000 observations (uniquely identified using
> variable - id -), can I drop multiple observations using one line? I know
> one can drop observations that are say id>350 or <20, but if the
> observations are all over the place could we still use a one line command?
>
> For example, instead of typing:
>
> drop if id==2
> drop if id==215
> drop if id==302
> drop if id==420
> drop if id==579
> ...
>
> Can I use one line to drop all the above?
