Hi,
I was wondering if I could get some help on importing data into a
three-dimensional array?

I am importing data from several text files:

dsdir<-"c:/documents and settings/desktop/07082008/" # path to files
dsfb1<-"07082008-DI4129b.dat" # file base name

firsthour<-13 # first hour of observation which changes from 6am to 1pm from
day to day
lasthour<-20 # last hour of observation which also changes from 6 - 8pm

for(i in firsthour:lasthour)
assign(paste("ds",i,"a",sep=""),read.delim(file=paste(dsdir,i,dsfb1,sep=""),
header=F, sep="\t", skip=5))

This code generates matrices from ds13a:ds20a containing data from the
respective text files, but I need this in a three-dimensional array for
further processing.  The observation counts in the imported files vary from
one to another, and there is never a set number of files to be imported.
 Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Sincerely,
Jon
