[R] set.seed and for loop

[R Help]

There are certainly people that would know how the random functions
work better than I, but I believe you would need to simulate 22
datasets and then get the 23rd dataset.  So to restore the 23rd:

set.seed(1001)
for(i in 1:22){
  garbage = runif(50)
}
data[[23]] = runif(50)

Hope that helps,
Sam
