[R] Formatting multi-way ANOVA output for spectra analysis

[Robert D. Bowers M.A.]

I've studied R a little bit, although I haven't used it in some time 
(except via RCommander).  I'm working on my dissertation project and 
have spectrometer data that I need to evaluate.  I need to find a way to 
simplify the output from multi-way ANOVA so I can reduce the areas of 
the spectrum to only those where there are significant differences 
between sites.  (A preliminary study on a too-small sample size 
indicates that certain areas of the spectrum can distinguish between 
sites.  This project is the next step.)

The dataset is comprised of analyses done on samples from five separate 
locations, with 50 samples taken from each site.  The output of the 
spectrometer per sample is values for 2048 individual wavelengths, in a 
spreadsheet with the wavelength as the first column.  Since I'm doing 
the analysis wavelength-by-wavelength, I've transposed the data and 
broke the data for the project down into smaller spreadsheets (so that R 
can perform ANOVA on each wavelength).

The problem is, I can do ANOVA now on each wavelength, but I don't need 
a full output table for each... I just need to know if there is 
significant variation between any of the sites at that wavelength, based 
on 95% confidence level (or better).  If I could get some sort of simple 
chart (or a single line in a spreadsheet), that would help to narrow 
down the areas of the spectrum that I need to focus on to evaluate the 
results of the tests.

I've been reading information about ANOVA, but have found very little 
that is clear about formatting the output - and I don't need to rehash 
all of the math.  I just need to find out how to hack down the output to 
just the part I need (if possible).  Once that's done, I can decide what 
wavelengths are valuable for future tests and simplify the process.

Thanks for any help given!
