similar to: package/ date/ download problem

Hi, I'm Roslina, PhD student of University of South Australia, Australia from school Maths and Stats. I use S-Plus before and now has started using R-package. I used to analyse rainfall data using julian date. Is there any similar function that you can suggest to me to be used in R-package? Thank you so much for your attention and help [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-users This seems to be a trivial problem but at the moment I don?t know how to solve it. I have a list with 7000 matrices, every matrix has 2 columns but different row-sizes. Now I want to combine all lists into one matrix with 2 columns. I would have to write: ma <- rbind(list[[1]],list[[2]], and so on) (this works fine for lists with few matrices) Since it is not possible to write:
