Re: [R] days between dates

2011-05-23 Thread armstrwa
Geoff, I think you could write an if loop to solve this. You could write: for(i in 1:num_obs){ if(DAYS[i]=='Monday'){ DF$DAYS.BETWEEN[i]-1 } } Where 'num_obs' is the total number of temperature observations you have. This would only be correct if you had no missing data on Fridays. Also, if

Hi all, This is a very basic question, but I just can't figure out why R is handling a loop I'm writing the way it is. Here is the script I have written: grid_2_series-function(gage_handle,data_type,filename) series_name-paste(gage_handle,data_type,sep=_)

[R] Paste problem when looping variable assignments

Hi all, I am attempting to run through a large set of data and sort events by the water year (1 Oct - 30 Sep) in which they occurred. I have no problem doing this for each individual site I am looking at (so my problem is not with most of the code, just one minor thing), but when I try to loop

One thing I should have mentioned before is that pds_gagehandles is a character vector that contains the site names that I am interested in. An example of a site name is saho. So with with the paste function, I am trying to get R to assign a variable with the site name followed by _potwy. For
