design question on piping multiple data sets from 1 file into R
I think that you can use read.csv with nrows and skip arguments (see ?read.table).

I take my queries run them and save the output as csv file and them format the data into graphs in excel. I wanted to know if there is an elegant and clean way to read in 1 csv file but to read the seperate matrices on different rows into seperate R data objects. if this is easy then I can read the 8 datasets in the csv file into 8 r objects and pipe them to time series objects for graphs. thanks Dhruv ------------------------------------------------------------ Email Fax It's easy to receive faxes via email.
