I am just learning and only know the bare basics of R.
The data looks like this:
Year Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep

1973 2.785 2.723 2.673 2.631 2.68 2.82 3.155 3.316 3.349 3.203 3.037

3.622 3.9861975....
and in a nut-shell, I need it to look like this:
1973.1 2.7851973.2 2.7231973.3 2.631
etc...
You have not offer a cut-and-paatable example and your specification
seems a bit vague ...possibly compounded by some HTML formatting
problems.
I suspect you are trying to go from what in R is called "wide" format
over to what is called "long" format.
Here are some functions and packages that are possibly useful
?stack
?reshape
package::reshape
package::plyr
Depending on what your ultimate plans are for this data you may also
find useful functions in the time series and zoo packages.

and I have no idea how to do it without manually changing it, and
then reading it, but the file it is significantly bigger then this
and I may need to apply it to others, so knowing how to go about it
with R would be good.
