If you want the month names:
mnt <- c("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",
+ "July", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")
dimnames(tbl)$Month <- mnt
<SNIP>
Unnecessary typing; there is a built-in data set "month.abb" (in the
"base" package) that is identical to your "mnt".
Difficult (nearly impossible!) to find, but, if you can't quite remember
the name! I *knew* I'd seen it, so I persisted and eventually tracked
it down.
Strangely ??month or help.search("month") yield no trace of it. Pages
and pages of (useless!) output but no sign of "month.abb" (nor of
"month.name" which gives the unabbreviated month names).
Can anyone explain to me why "??" and help.search() are of no help here?
cheers,
Rolf Turner
