Trying to plot multiple lines from a simple matrix with headers (eight 
observations per column). I will be doing a number of these, with varying 
numbers of columns, and do not want to enter the header names for each one (I 
got frustrated and just wrote them out, which did work). 

Data reads fine, first plot is fine, but when i use the code at the bottom for 
a for i loop it tells me that x and y do not match. . . 

One other issue is that I would prefer not to specify the first column either, 
but when I enter Plot(MONTH, Data2[2] . . . it also does not plot. Should this 
not call the second column? 

Thank you very much for any comments. I know this is simple, but I appreciate 
any assistance. Cheers, Ben

# LOAD DATA FROM CSV
library(zoo)
setwd("/Users/benjaminneal/Documents/All Panama/1110_Panama/CNAT_Segmenting")
Data = read.csv("120503_CNAT_Summary.csv", header=T)

#fill in missing data from last observation
Data2 <- na.locf(Data)
attach(Data2)

# PLOT ALL ON ONE CHART
plot(MONTH,T102, type="o", ann="False", ylim=c(1, 100), pch=22, lty=2, 
col="red")
title(main="5m and 10 m Colpophylia natans colonies over time", ylab="% live 
coral / colony", 
      xlab="Months", col.main="black", font.main=4)

lines(MONTH,T162, type="o", pch=22, lty=2, col="red")
lines(MONTH,T231, type="o", pch=22, lty=2, col="green")
lines(MONTH,T250, type="o", pch=22, lty=2, col="green")

##(many other similar lines here, with entered column headers . . . up to 75)

lines(MONTH,T373, type="o", pch=22, lty=2, col="blue")
lines(MONTH,T374, type="o", pch=22, lty=2, col="blue")
lines(MONTH,T377, type="o", pch=22, lty=2, col="blue")

# Tried to add lines another way with for i loop, but this is the part not 
working
for (i in 2:length(Data2)) {
  lines(MONTH, i, type="o", pch=22, lty=2, col="blue")) 
}
