In v0.5 I did this:

```julia
using DataFrames
df = DataFrame(A = rand(5), 
        B = rand(1:10, 5), 
        C = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"])
df[(df[:A] .> 0.2) & (df[:B] .< 3), :] 

1×3 DataFrames.DataFrame
│ Row │ A │ B │ C │
├─────┼──────────┼───┼─────┤
│ 1 │ 0.386271 │ 1 │ "e" │

(Seems to work...)

```

In v0.6 I now get a deprecation warning:

```julia
WARNING: a::DataArray{$(Expr(:<:, :Integer))} & b::DataArray{$(Expr(:<:, :Integer))} 
is deprecated, use &.(a, b) instead.

```

But I can’t work out how to rephrase the expression to make it work…

Just put a dot `.` in front of the `&` to broadcast it over all the elements:

```julia
df[(df[:A] .> 0.2) .& (df[:B] .< 3), :] 

```

works on my system on julia 0.6.

Thanks! I didn’t try that one… 🙂
