st: Re: Extracting a submatrix based on multiple conditions

[Partho Sarkar <partho.ss@gmail.com>]

I am very new to Mata, so please excuse if this is too naive.  I have
a very short question:

In Mata, is there a way, and if so what, to extract a submatrix of
rows where more than one condition is met, i.e., conditions on values
in 2 or more columns?  E.g., in the following matrix

         1       2       3       4       5
    +-----------------------------------------+
  1 |  18049       1       1      91    2500  |
  2 |  18079       2       1      91    2500  |
  3 |  18079       1       1     124    2300  |
    +-----------------------------------------+

I want to extract the rows where the column 2 value==1 AND column 3
value==1 .  As far as I can see so far, this is possible for a single
condition, e.g.,

y[.,3]:==1

would give me the row numbers where this condition is met.  But this
does not work ( I tried with various parentheses):

 y[.,3]:==1 & y[.1]:==1

Many thanks
P.S.
