[R] Times series data file?

[Douglas M. Hultstrand]

Hello,

I currently splitting a file into individual files (time series each 
separated into one file), the file I read in skips the first four lines 
and extracts the data columns I need.  I was wondering if there is a way 
for R to automatically scan and separate the files based on the head 
information?

The header delineates the observation with a 254 space time space day 
space month space year.
254      0     26      NOV    1995

I would like to then use the program I have written to do the analysis.  
I have attached a small subset text file of data (two observations).  
Any thoughts would be very helpful.

# Read in data file
data <- read.table("file.txt", skip=4, header=F)
temp <- data$V4
elev <- data$V3

Thank you,
Doug
