My apologies for sending a binary file. I was following advice from someone (from this list) who insisted I send data via dput. I guess that is frown upon.
Anyway. here is a Cellave.txt file. Stavros, here is the output following your suggestion. WetMonths <- Cell.ave[Cell.ave$month >= "5" and Cell.ave$month <= "11",] Error: unexpected symbol in "WetMonths <- Cell.ave[Cell.ave$month >= "5" and" Cell.ave$month <= "11",] I think the problem lies in leading characters for months with values 1, 10, 11, and 12. These get very confused. (See attached file: Cellave.txt) Steve Friedman Ph. D.

Mailing list policy forbids binary attachments other than PS and PDF, but should be forwarding plaintext attachments, I think. Perhaps it requires that the extension be ".txt" or something...? Anyway... the problem seems diagnosable just from your code: > WetSeasonMonths <- Cell.ave[Cell.ave$month >= "5" & Cell.ave$month <= > "11",] There is no *string* which is >= "5" and <= "11". Why aren't you comparing numerically? -s
