[R] How to get last day of a month?

[Gabor Grothendieck]

That should have been yearmon (not yearqtr):

> # convert to "yearmon" class and from that to Date using frac = 1
> # where frac is between 0 and 1 inclusive indicating where

> as.Date(as.yearmon(x, "%b%Y"), frac = 1)
[1] "2009-09-30" "2009-10-31"
