Hi folk,
I tried this and it works just perfectly
tapply(iris[,1],iris[5],mean)
but, how to obtain a single table from multiple variables? In tapply x is an atomic object so this code doesn't work tapply(iris[,1:4],iris[5],mean)

Thanx and great summer holidays

  And a third approach:

> sapply(split(iris[,1:4], iris$Species), colMeans)
             setosa versicolor virginica
Sepal.Length  5.006      5.936     6.588
Sepal.Width   3.428      2.770     2.974
Petal.Length  1.462      4.260     5.552
Petal.Width   0.246      1.326     2.026
