Hi, Here is my data, the first 10 rows > u=regCond_all[1:10,] > dput(u) structure(c(999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 1.9, 2, 1.97, 1.99, 1.83, 1.78, 1.6, 1.52, 1.52, 1.36, 10.53, 9.88, 9.88, 10.53, 10.53, 10.53, 5.26, 9.88, 10.53, 10.53, 5.4, 5.57, 5.46, 5.34, 5.5, 5.59, 5.62, 5.76, 6.23, 6.19, 295, 294, 292, 294, 283, 288, 305, 287, 294, 295, 9999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 12.7, 12.5, 12.3, 12.6, 12.6, 12.5, 12.5, 12.5, 12.7, 12.7, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99), class = c("xts", "zoo"), .indexCLASS = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), .indexTZ = "", tclass = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = "", index = structure(c(1217564520, 1217566320, 1217568120, 1217569980, 1217571720, 1217573520, 1217575320, 1217577120, 1217578920, 1217580720), tzone = "", tclass = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt")), .Dim = c(10L, 13L), .Dimnames = list(NULL, c("WDIR", "WSPD", "GST", "WVHT", "DPD", "APD", "MWD", "PRES", "ATMP", "WTMP", "DEWP", "VIS", "TIDE")))
I tried to copy some fields from this data to another data. I got error. Could you please help? Thanks. diveCond <- data.frame(matrix(0, nrow=97, ncol=17)) names(diveCond) <- c("dive_id", "timestamp", "visability", "r_wvht", "r_dpd", "r_apt", "r_mwd", "r_wtmp", "l_salinity", "l_o2", "l_hs", "l_tp", "l_wdir", "l_along", "l_cross", "l_mab", "l_depth") dive_id <- 0 for(i in 1:dim(diveCond)[1]){ thisStamp <- as.POSIXct(strptime(diveCond$timestamp[i], "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")) ind <- which.min( abs(index(regCond_all) - thisStamp )) diveCond$r_wvht[i] <- regCond_all$WVHT[ind] diveCond$r_dpd[i] <- regCond_all$DPD[ind] diveCond$r_apt[i] <- regCond_all$APD[ind] diveCond$r_mwd[i] <- regCond_all$MWD[ind] diveCond$r_wtmp[i] <- regCond_all$WTMP[ind] } Error in diveCond$r_wvht[i] <- regCond_all$WVHT[ind] : replacement has length zero In addition: Warning message: In max(i) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf If you could explain the error that would help prevent future errors.
