Hi Kevin, I don't even pretend to try to read it. If David is having a problem I am going for tea.
I think we need some sample data (see ?dput for the best way to supply it) and an succinct description in English of what the problem is and what you need to get out of the data. I suspect because you are so used to programming in other languages you are jumping into one approach before you should. R can be very weird indeed for those used to working with "sensible" languages. Also have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example and http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html for some general suggestions about questions on the list etc. BTW, the reason for using dput() is that it provides a 'perfect' copy of your data. Other ways of submitting sample data are less satisfactory. For example I tend to use 1 of 2 ways to read in text data especially if I am just grabbing some data from a problem on R-help and I may read in the data okay if I use one method or, if for some reason I use the other method I might read in some data as numeric that should be a factor, etc. which makes troubleshooting just a bit difficult. And which method I use can be a crap shoot.
