[R] creating series of vectors

[ilai]

# All days in years 2006 to 2009 by month in 48 (12x4) files.

days <- seq(as.Date("2006/1/1"), as.Date("2009/12/31"),by="day") # one
long vector
out <- paste(rep(format(days,'%d%m%y'),each=2),c('aaa','bbb'),sep='_')
# reformat to style
month <- factor(rep(format(days,'%B%y'),each=2))   # group by month.year
for(i in levels(month))
cat(out[month==i],'\n',file=paste(i,'txt',sep='.'))  # write external
files

Cheers
