Why? To me it looks like you figured it all out. You found out how to use cut() to get the appropriate factor and you used table() to compute the counts. Nothing wrong with that... The only difference to what you wanted to get is that your example looked more like a data frame. Try as.data.frame(yourtable) which will give you something like this: > as.data.frame(tbl) b Freq 1 (0,20] 17 2 (20,40] 28 3 (40,60] 19 4 (60,80] 15 5 (80,100] 21 Is that what you wanted? cu Philipp -- Dr. Philipp Pagel Tel. +49-89-3187-3675 Institute for Bioinformatics / MIPS Fax. +49-89-3187-3585 GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1 85764 Neuherberg, Germany http://mips.gsf.de/~pagel ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
