Hi Kirsten, The second argument of replace() is actually an index, so it's trying to replace element number 2004-5-14 = 1985 with 134! See ?replace. I would need more of your code to understand your error exactly.
I think you would be better off converting your dates to date format (?Date) and then using the julian() function to convert them to Julian. -- Kellie Wills Engineering Service Manager REvolution Computing On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 12:17 PM, Kirsten M Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hello, I have a problem with using replace() to convert a vector of dates > from yyyy-mm-dd to julian date. > > For example, I type > > replace(x,2004-05-14,134) > > and I receive an error: > > Error in `[<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, list, value = 134) : > new columns would leave holes after existing columns > > If I can successfully convert, I have a script that will convert all of > the dates in the vector (i.e., the same line repeated with the next > yyyy-mm-dd and corresponding julian day).
