R help - Jun 2010 - Project

I am an intern in Virginia Beach and I am currently working on a  
project that involves converting a script of Pearl to R. The code  
takes one input text file and outputs six text files. If you think you  
can help, I will be able to provide more detailed information. Thank  
you for your time!

Sure, I can help.

Read these:

in particular:

Why is it outputting six file?

You really need to provide more information on what is happening.

Presuming you're talking about Perl, I might be able to help with
specific issues, but read the posting guide before you actually call
upon our help.

One book I definitely can recommend is Phil Spectors Data Manipulation with R

http://www.springer.com/statistics/computanional+statistics/book/978-0-387-74730-9

It covers most you need to know about data structures in R, as they're
quite different from Perl. Pay attention to the vectorization and the
use of indices in R, as both concepts differ substantially from Perl.
In essence, avoid for-loops as much as you can. One other source you
might look at is the R inferno of Patrick Burns :
