Hi I'm trying to speed my loop up. Any Suggestions?? At the moment it takes a
few days to run.

THE CODE

We are not surprised.

Rainfall_dataset <- read.table("1km_grid_nzmg.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",", na.strings="NA", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        for(i in 1:11) {
                for (j in 3:12) {
# What is x ???  Where is y dimensioned???
# whatever the answers,     this would be faster --->
                              y[ ,1] <- x[i,j, ]

                        for (k in 1:273107) {                                   
# and this is no longer needed in the inner loop  y[k,1] <- x[i,j,k]

                                                print(y)
                                                        
        # t <- Rainfall_dataset
        # print(t)
                                        p<-cbind(t,y)

???? You are just writing out a set of vectors as the first column to identical copies of the entire RainfalL_dataset?

                                        #y<-cbind(t,y)   Huh???
                                        #print(y)                       
                        }
                                        # This where you write out array y to a 
csv file
                                        # Save output as a csv file     
                                        site <- paste("site",i,"-",j)

        csvfile <- paste(site,sep=".","csv"); print(csvfile)
        path<- paste("c:/Data/",csvfile)
        print(path)
                                                        write.csv(p,file=path, 
row.names = TRUE)                
                }
        }


To me this looks like a 11*10* 273107 == 30MB set of files with no real added information. Surely a database solution must be better.
