[R] zooreg and window

[Katrina Bennett]

Hi Achim,

Yes, this worked. I added the two strings

regts.start <- as.Date(regts.start)
regts.end <- as.Date(regts.end)

and changed the frequency to 1 in my zooreg call.

The window call now works perfectly.

I'm still wrapping my head around POSIXct and ISOdatetime and how they
need to be applied appropriately!

Thank you,

Katrina
