Dear all R users, Suppose I have a data frame "data" like this: 5/2/2006 36560 5/3/2006 36538 5/4/2006 36452 5/5/2006 36510 5/8/2006 36485 5/9/2006 36502 5/10/2006 36584 5/11/2006 36571 Now I want to create a for loop like this: date = "5/10/2006" for (i in 1: 8) { if (data[i,1] > date) break } But I get error while executing this. Can anyone tell me the right way to do this? Sincerely yours stat Send instant messages to your online friends http://in.messenger.yahoo.com Stay connected with your friends even when away from PC.
