"Doesn't seem to be working" is pretty vague.
It either works or it doesn't.
What are you seeing? An error message (I got one)? Wrong result?

Yes.
In the expression "j in 1:length(pro[,i])-1" the 1 is subtracted from the left
and righthand side of :.
The expression should read: j in 1:(length(pro[,i])-1)

You need to break after this.

Alternative to Jim's suggestion is: have a look at findInterval.
