Hi Brent; I do appreciate for your helps and advice. I already registered online to learn R. Today my second day. I think I could not explain my problem precisely. I have two file called A and B. A has to columns say posA and posB the values of the first row in A are 1 and 9, and the values of the second row in A 2 and 7. In file B however I have pos, a, b,c columns, for example. pos a b c The first row of B 4 0.4 0.80the second column of the B 2 0.1 0.40 The third column of B 13 0.5 0.32 So I would like to sum up the B$a column and cut off at 0.7 for the each row of intervals giving in file=A. Once again thanks so much. regards, Oslo Here are my codes #sorting B$possort=B[order(B$pos),] #Running loop for(i in 1:nrow(A)) {if(sum(B[a$B, i:A[1:2])>0.7) {print(A[1:i,]) } }

Please read the posting guide (link below) to learn how to post understandable questions -- at least I was not able to understand. In particular, post in plain text, not html, which tends to get mangled as seemed to occur here. 2. Your first stop in learning R should be one of the many fine tutorials available on the web or even the "Intro to R" tutorial that ships with R. In particular, indexing in R using logical expressions appears relevant to your query. Here is an example of what can be done along the lines that I think you asked about -- hope it helps. Apologies if I have misunderstood.
