Extract data

Hi, welcome to the R-help list 

This help list does not accept html coded messages and so nothing meaningful seems to have come through.

If you aready have the data loaded into R please supply some sample data  
 The easiest way to supply data  is to use the dput() function.  Example with your file named "testfile": 
dput(testfile) 
Then copy the output and paste into your email.  For large data sets, you can just supply a representative sample.  Usually,  dput(head(testfile, 100)) will be sufficient.    

Otherwise perhaps you could mock up some data or place a file as some place such as mediafire or dropbox where readers can access it.

Here is a link that suggests some ways to ask a good question on the list https://github.com/hadley/devtools/wiki/Reproducibility

The more you follow the suggestions and provide meaningfull examples, code or general information about your installation the faster people may be able to help you.
