[R] Zoo or TS

[jim holtman]

What is NYT?  Is it a dataframe?  Is "Title" a column?  What exactly
are you wanting to plot?  Is it just the values in column "B" where
"Title" is equal to "A"?  The posting guide does suggest that you
provide a reproducible set of code/data.  You can probably do what you
want if you can explain what you are after.  You are getting the error
because the 'if' function expects a single TRUE/FALSE value and your
use of '==' if probably returning multiple values, but since we don't
know what NYT is, it is hard to say.  If you are going to include some
data, please use 'dput' to create an expression that makes it easy to
read in.
