[R] setting up dates

[Erin Hodgess]

I have several data sets, which begin early in 2002 and run until
yesterday.  They do not have observations every day.  For example:
> xd1[1:10]
2002-02-25 2002-02-26 2002-02-28 2002-03-01 2002-03-04 2002-03-05 2002-03-07
         7          8          1          9         12          3          5
2002-03-08 2002-03-11 2002-03-12
         7         10          5

I want to set up zoo series which has every day from 2002-01-01
through yesterday.  There should be zeros on the "non appearing" dates
and the previously seen values on the appearing dates.

I've tried union and merge, but they didn't seem to work correctly.

Thank you in advance,
Sincerely,
Erin
