One should also consider another intuitive way to do this using filter() from dplyr. Here are some examples:

set.seed(123)
df <- data.frame(name = sample(letters, 100, TRUE),
                 date = sample(1:500, 100, TRUE))
library(dplyr)
filter(df, date < 50) # date less than 50
filter(df, date %in% 50:100) # date between 50 and 100
filter(df, date %in% 1:50 & name == "r") # date between 1 and 50 AND name is "r"
filter(df, date %in% 1:50 | name == "r") # date between 1 and 50 OR name is "r"

# You can also use the pipe (%>%) operator
df %>% filter(date %in% 1:50 | name == "r")
