[R] random numbers selection - simple example

[Jenny Barnes]

You're all stars - thanks for the replies - I will go ahead and use 
sample...........
I need to do this about 10,000 times - any suggestions for this or simply put it 
in a loop 10,000 times outputting each time to an array?

Best Wishes,

Jenny
