Not much to go on, but you might find

  vegMeans = aggregate(SoilVegHydro[3:37],SoilVegHydro['Physiogomy'],mean)
and
  vegSd = aggregate(SoilVegHydro[3:37],SoilVegHydro['Physiogomy'],sd)

more suitable for your needs.  (Not run because I don't know what
SoilVegHydro is.)

Hello,

vegMeans <- by(SoilVegHydro[3:37] , SoilVegHydro$Physiogomy, mean)

vegSD <- by(SoilVegHydro[3:37] , SoilVegHydro$Physiogomy, sd)


write.table(vegMeans,
file="A:\\Work_Area\\Steve\\Hydrology_Data\\data\\vegMeans.txt")
Error in as.data.frame.default(x[[i]], optional = TRUE, stringsAsFactors =
stringsAsFactors) :
 cannot coerce class '"by"' into a data.frame

Is there anyway to convert these output objects for use with write.table or
an alternate method such that I can output to a word processing system?

Windows R 2.11.1

Thanks
Steve
