[R] list problem

[Luis Rideau Cruz]

Hi all,

I have the folowing frame(there are more columns than shown),
   1              2           3        4           5     
Year         Total      Tus    Whi      Norw
1994         1.00      1830       0      355 
1995         1.00         0       0        0 
1995         1.00         0       0        0 
1995         1.00      4910    4280      695 
1997         1.00         0       0      110 
1997         0.58         0       0        0 
1997         1.00         0       0        0 
1994         1.00         0       0        0 
1997         1.00         0      40       70 
1998         1.00         0       0     1252 
1999         1.04         0      74        0 
1999         1.00         0       0        0 
1999         1.02         0       0        0 
1999         1.00         0       0        0 
1999         1.00         0       0      171 
1999         1.00      1794       0      229 
1999         1.00         0    3525        0 
1997         1.00      1335    1185      147 
1997         1.00      4925    1057     4801 
1997         1.00         0    6275     1773 

I try to get sum("Total") by "Year" in which Tus>0,  sum("Total") by "Year" in which Whi>0,,,and so on.

I have done something like this;

a<-as.list(numeric(3))
for (i in 3:5)
{
a[[i]]<-aggregate(frame[,"Total"],list(Year=frame$"Year",
                                                   Tus=frame$"i">0),sum)
}


The result is something like;

   Year  Tus     x
 1994 FALSE 49.69
 1995 FALSE 49.35
 1996 FALSE 56.95
 1997 FALSE 57.00
 1998 FALSE 57.00
 1999 FALSE 58.09
 2000 FALSE 56.97
 2001 FALSE 57.95
 2002 FALSE 57.10
 2003 FALSE 56.16
 2000  TRUE  1.00
 2002  TRUE  1.00
 2003  TRUE  2.01


But when I try indexing  frame["Tus"==TRUE,],,,,I just don't get it

Thank you
