[R] Zoo or TS

[miya]

Hello all,
I've been able to separate the columns now so that when I call NYT[,9] it
gives me just that column. I'm still trying to plot however. When I used the
previous if()plot() statement it plots something, but its not what I want. I
want to plot the rank vs time, but its just plotting the samething for 25
units, not changing at all. I know this is not correct since there are 45
different times and the title is present in all of them. What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks in advance.
