Hi
You have got several suggestions. When I try your code I get only errors,
not list or any other objects.
> x<-unique(Returns.names$date_)
Error in unique(Returns.names$date_) : object 'Returns.names' not found
> n<-1
> while(n<=19) {
+ Returns.period<-lapply(((n-1)*125+1):((n+1)*125), function (i)
+ which(Returns.filter$date_==x[i]))
+ Returns.period<-unlist(Returns.period)
+
+
Returns.period1[n,1:(length(Returns.period))]<-Returns.filter[Returns.period,]
+ n<-n+1
+ }
Error in which(Returns.filter$date_ == x[i]) :
object 'Returns.filter' not found

How do you expect to get reasonable help if you can not present what you
did and how result differ from what you want on some fake data which we
can copy to R.

Help page says
Description
Applies linear filtering to a univariate time series or to each series
separately of a multivariate time series.

Why do you expect that one language will behave the same way as another
language. If R was like Java what would be the reason to have 2 languages?
Try instead to comply posting guide and make a fake data which can be
directly used e.g. by dput, construct a result which is to be achieved and
present a code which can be copied to R and which gives other then
expected result.
After that we can quit guessing and start providing relevant help.
