Generation of missiing values in a time serie...

Your variable mat is not a matrix; its a data frame.  Check it with:

   class(mat)

Here is an example:

x <- cbind(A = 1:4, B = 5:8)
tt <- c(1, 3:4, 6)

library(zoo)
x.zoo <- zoo(x, tt)
x.ts <- as.ts(x.zoo)

Fixed, but anyway it fails:

 >	h_types	<- list (0, 0, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
 >	h_names	<- list ("time", "flow", "seq", "ts", "x", "rtt", "size")
	
 >	pcks_file	<- pipe ("grep ' P ' server.dat", "r")
 >	pcks		<- scan (pcks_file, what = h_types,
					comment.char = '#', fill = TRUE)
	
 >	mat_df			<- data.frame (pcks[1:2], pcks[5:9])
 >	mat				<- as.matrix (mat_df)
 > 	colnames (mat)	<- h_names	

 >	class (mat)
[1] "matrix"

 >	z <- zoo (mat, mat [,"time"])

 >	z
 >	z

Error in if (del == 0 && to == 0) return(to) :

Any idea? Thanks for your help.
