Dear Jeff and Bert, Thank you very much for your correction and explanation. And yes, I need to study about date format more. Sorry for HTML mail, don't realize.
I was able to subset the data that I want. mjo30<-read.table("rmm.txt", header=FALSE, skip=4234, nrows=10957) mjo30$V8<-NULL names(mjo30)<-c("year","month","day", "rmm1","rmm2","phase","amp") mjo3<-as.Date(with(mjo30,paste(year,month, day, sep="-")),"%Y-%m-%d") mjo<-mjo30[which(mjo3%in%date),] head(mjo) year month day rmm1 rmm2 phase amp 115 1986 4 25 -0.319090 -0.363030 2 0.483332 526 1987 6 10 1.662870 0.291632 5 1.688250 977 1988 9 3 -0.604950 -0.299850 1 0.675181 1374 1989 10 5 0.972298 -0.461030 4 1.076060 1760 1990 10 26 -1.183110 -1.589810 2 1.981730 1953 1991 5 7 -0.317180 0.953061 7 1.004450 Best, Ani On Tue, Jan 14, 2020 at 3:20 PM Jeff Newmiller <jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.us> wrote: > > The dput function is for re-creating an R object in another R workspace, so > it uses fundamental base types to define objects.
