[R] Usage of repeat,while or loop. Documetation?

[Torleif Markussen Lunde]

Hi
I want to run the loop described in the example below, but cannot find any 
good documentation on how to do it. I wold be very happy if someone could 
help me on this, as it would save me for a lot of work.

Kindest regards

#Sample 1

m<-0

#35-40
#want to repeat this untill m=300
m<-m+1
if (length(type[maling==m&type==1&length>=35&length<=39])>0)
a<-length(type[maling==m&type==1&length>=35&length<=39])  else a<-0

if (length(type[maling==m&type==2&length>=35&length<=39])>0)
b<-length(type[maling==m&type==2&length>=35&length<=39]) else b<-0

if (length(type[maling==m&type==3&length>=35&length<=39])>0)
c<-length(type[maling==m&type==3&length>=35&length<=39]) else c<-0

#Then i want to update the kt1 name to change from kt1 to kt2 to kt3...

#kt300
#by using rbind. Suggestions on how to update the table as the loop is
