Hi Everyone, I could use help developing a for loop. I have a dataset with tallies for a number of species within 7 different size classes. I need to uncollate the data into the rawest form (ie: each row a different individual) & retrain the metadata associated with each row (Date, Recorder, Site, Transect and Species). Here is an example of the current format: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4636155/data.jpg Could someone help me write a for loop? I am looking for something like this (represents just the top 2 rows of the first table): Date Recorder Site Transect SpeciesSize Class 7/6/10 CSC Puako A MOCA 5-10cm 7/6/10 CSC Puako A MOCA 5-10cm 7/6/10 CSC Puako A MOCA 20-40cm 7/6/10 CSC Puako A MOPA <5cm 7/6/10 CSC Puako A MOPA <5cm 7/6/10 CSC Puako A MOPA 5-10cm 7/6/10 CSC Puako A MOPA 10-20cm Many Thanks!

Read your data using read.table with as.is=TRUE then you could reformat the date column to make R understand that it is a date, depending on your raw date format. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/For-loop-help-tp4636155p4636157.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hello, Please don't post datasets like this, it's unusable by us. Use dput(). ?dput dput(head(myData, 20)) # post the output of this. Paste the output of that command in a post. It starts with 'structure'. Don't worry if it looks awkward, it is, on the contrary, very usefull. All we need to do s to paste it n an R session to have an exact copy of your data, dat <- structure(...etc...). Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 11-07-2012 19:10, cs389 escreveu:
