I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Could you try to explain using code example of how you 'grab' elements? One solution could perhaps be to simple renumber the data frame. If the data frame is named 'dat', you can do it simply by row.names(dat) = NULL -- Karl Ove Hufthammer ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
