Hello,

I have large zoo objects (about 100 or more time series merged next to eachother). Example:

X05.Oct.99 X05.Nov.99 X05.Dec.99 X05.Jan.00 X05.Feb.00 X05.Mar.00 X05.Apr.00 X05.May.00 X05.Jun.00 [1,] 5649.3 5679.4 5679.4 5679.4 5679.4 5679.4 5679.4 5679.4 5679.4 [2,] 5682.7 5719.2 5719.2 5719.2 5719.2 5719.2 5719.2 5719.2 5719.2 [3,] 5697.5 5745.5 5745.5 5745.5 5745.5 5745.5 5745.5 5745.5 5745.5 [4,] 5723.9 5767.8 5767.8 5767.8 5767.8 5767.8 5767.8 5767.8 5767.8 [5,] 5782.1 5829.8 5829.8 5829.8 5829.8 5829.8 5829.8 5829.8 5829.8 [6,] 5815.0 5850.9 5850.9 5850.9 5850.9 5850.9 5850.9 5850.9 5850.9

The column names contain dates, i.e., X05.Oct.99 stands for a time sequence that was obtained on 05/10/1999. Each column is obtained month + 1 from the previous one.

Is it possible to access these columns (time series data) via a for/next loop (or a while) that uses dates i/o (i in 1:8) in the above example?

Say: if month==Oct and year==1999 choose column X05.Oct.99 ...

Could I also generate automatically a variable, appropriately named from the corresponding columns name that would contain the data and access it by that date?

Any pointers really appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Costas
