Really? You mean, you can compile this code right? Otherwise it's
incomplete: you allocate but do nothing with 'df'. Same with 'lsnm'.
And you don't UNPROTECT. With no further treatment, 'df' will be an
unnamed list containing junk data, but not the data.frame you expect.
So there are a few gaps that would need to be filled before this code
actually works as intended.
Maybe try and come back again with specific questions?
Cheers,
