Hi 

I have a daily level time series data. What I need to do is a time series
analysis and forecasting and stuff. 

But the thing I am stuck at is - I cant get a decent time series plot of the
data I have 
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3021984/test.jpg 

This is a plot of daily level data from July 09 to Oct 10. what I am
interested is in - like instead of just 2010 time stamp on x axis, if I
could have monthly tags it would be great.

Here is what I have done - 
MY DATA IS OF THIS FORMAT

Date          X        Y            Z         A            B         C

WHAT I DID .
file<-read.csv("filename.csv",header=TRUE)
miedata<-as.POSIXct(strptime(as.character(file[,1]),format="%m/%d/%Y"))
zoom<-zoo(file[,2],miedata)
plot(zoom)


Any help of any sort will be greatly appreciated. Its been very hard to get
a grip of Irregular Time Series in R 

Thanks
