R help - Mar 2011 - Binning data

Hello

I have a large series of data value -- effectivly say the point across the
x-axis where a pitch crosses home plate. What I want to do is find the % of
ground balls at various distances across home plate.

I therefore need to 'bin' the two data sets I have - plate location for
ground balls and plate location for all other outcomes. 

Question is how can I set up a series of bins between x and y with bin width
(y-x)/200, as an example ...

Thanks
John

Most probably a combination of:

?seq
?cut


You might also want to look at findInterval but that would not seem to  
be necessary in this instance. It's really an excellent function for  
doing indexed lookups, though.
