i have the following constructed and running very well,, thanks to Gabor Grothendieck for his help.
>data.info <- c("station.id", "year", "date", "max.discharge") > > for(i in 1:num.files) { + station.id <- substring(data[i], 1,8) + DF <- read.table(data[i], sep=",", blank.lines.skip = TRUE) + z <- zoo(DF[,4], as.Date(as.character(DF[,3]), "%m/%d/%Y")) + f <- function(x) time(x) [which.max(x)] + ix <- tapply(z, floor(as.yearmon(time(z))),f) + year <- (1988:2005) + date <- time(z[ix]) + max.discharge <- coredata(z[ix]) + data.info <- rbind(data.info, c(station.id, year, date, max.discharge)) + } my problem with my code occurs in the part where I arrange my results.. after running this code, i get this warning: Warning message: In rbind(data.info, c(station.id, year, date, max.discharge)) : number of columns of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg 1) i can't figure out what to do to produce the result i wanted: (for each station, it should look like this:) data.info "station.id" "year" "date" "max.discharge" "01014000" 1988 "1988-11-07" 4360 "01014000" 1989 "1989-05-13" 20000 "01014000" 1990 "1990-10-25" 9170 "01014000" 1991 "1991-04-22" 12200 "01014000" 1992 "1992-03-29" 11800 ....
