Dear Jeff, Dear Rui, Dear all,
Forget about the monthly things. I was trying to do two things at the
same time.
I try to explain myself. Thanks for your time and I really appreciate
your help.
I have a long file with hourly precipitation from 2000 to 2018. I would
like to select only on e year or even half of a year and plot the
cumulative precipitation of it in order to compare it with the
simulation data that I have.
So far I was able only to read all the file:
dati <- read.csv(file="116.txt", header=FALSE, sep="," ,
na.strings="-999",skip = 6)
and to plot the entire cumulative:
P <- cumsum(dati$PREC)
plot(dati$DATAORA, P)
How can I choose only, for example, 2013 in order to have P?
thanks again
Diego

I have no idea what you mean when you say "select starting date and
ending
date properly form [sic] datai$DATA". For one thing there is no column
called DATA, and for another I don't know what starting dates and
ending
dates you might be interested in. If you need help to subset by time,
perhaps you should ask a question about that instead.
Here is a reproducible example of making monthly data and
manipulating it
using artificial data:
###############
library(zoo)
Sys.setenv( TZ = "GMT" )
set.seed(42)
dati <- data.frame( DATAORA = as.POSIXct( "2012-01-01" )
+ as.difftime( seq( 0, 365*3*24
), units="hours" )
)
# terrible simulation of precipitation
dati$PREC <- 0.1 * trunc( 50 * rbeta( nrow( dati ), 1, 80 ) )
dati$ym <- as.yearmon( dati$DATAORA )
# aggregate usually reduces the number of rows given to it
datim <- aggregate( list( PREC = dati$PREC ) # data to summarize
, dati[ , "ym", drop=FALSE ] # columns to group on
, FUN = sum # calculation on data
)
plot(PREC ~ ym, data=datim) # This is how I would usually look at it
as.year <- function(x) floor( as.numeric( x ) ) # from help file on
as.yearmon
datim$y <- as.year( datim$ym )
# ave typically does not change the number of rows given to it
datim$PMES <- ave( datim$PREC, datim$y, FUN = cumsum)
plot(PMES ~ ym, data=datim) # My guess as to what you asked for?
