This is because you're comparing column b to the entire vector of numbers (num), not the current number in the iteration (i). The first line of the loop should be "c_num<-c[c$b==i,]".

From a style point of view, I'd use "n" as my variable, since "i" is too commonly used as an integer index.

Also, you will be overwriting the same file, called "c_num.csv", on each iteration.

You should try something more like:

for (n in num) {
  c.n <- c[c$b==n,]
  write.csv(c.n, file=paste("c:/c_", n, ".csv", sep="")
}

I hope that helps.
