Hello,

I am looking for a way to quickly split a data frame containing daily
temperature readings into a series of individual data frames, one for each
year, in order to save them as individual .csv files which will be named
according to Year. I would prefer not to use a series of "subset" commands
given that there are a differing number of years for the various location. 

The data looks like this: 

   Day Month   Community     Year     MaxTemp MinTemp
        1     1               '241552'                  1990      44            
 29
        2     1               '241552'                  1990      39            
 20
        3     1         '241552'                        1990      35            
      24
        .       .       .                       .               .       .       
        .       .       .                       .               .       .
        4     1              '241552'                   1991      23            
 23
        5     1              '241552'                   1991      33            
         31
        6     1              '241552'                   1991      45            
 44
        .       .       .                       .               .       .       
        .       .       .                       .               .       .


The "split" command   (data2<-split(data, data$Year)) essentially does what
I want, but I am unable to take the output from this command and save the
data from individual years in separate files. I would ideally like to have a
series of output files named "241552_1990", "241552_1991", etc. These data
files will then be run through a loop that I have already created. I have
attempted to feed the output of the split command directly into my
pre-existing loop, but doing so will require major re-writes to my script
due to column/row naming issues. 


Any information anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks for your time,

David Roth
