You haven't provided a reproducible example. You haven't even provided a subset of your data, or the commands you used to read it in. I might guess that
VAL <- DailyDiary[[1]] might be what you wanted, and the "str" function might help you understand why. Also, the "c" function does not "coerce" object types... it embeds the arguments into a new vector. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

I tried "as.vector", but it doesn't let you specify the length. Any ideas?
