Hello,

Although your message is not very explicit about the structure of your data
frame,
I think you can get what you want by using a combination of the function
"split" and
the "apply" functions family: apply, lapply and sapply.

If you provide a more detailed organization of your data frame, perhaps we
can give
to you a more wiser advice.

Thanks,
Carlos.
P.S: By the way, please include in the "Subject" a more descriptive
message.

Dear R People:

Here is a very simple question, please:

I have a data frame with the state name, state division, and population.

Note: state division is something like Atlantic, Mountain, etc.

I want to produce a table with the state division and the total of the
populations for the states within that division.

I've been messing with "table" but so far, no luck.

This is R1.3.1, on Windows 98.

thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
