Thanks! It works! I'm so sorry for my ignorance of R. I took no offense, of course not! You're trying to help me! I can only thank you!
So, it's midnight my time, and I succeeded, although I was about to give up and go to bed in despair, now I can sleep peacefully thinking of my R program running all by itself! Thanks for your help! If you ever need any help with lisp or python, maybe I can repay the service!
