[R] Date format conversion from "2012-09-20" to "2012:09:20"

[arun]

Hi, 
This works: 
dataspy['20121003/20121009'] 
 #          SPY.Open SPY.High SPY.Low SPY.Close SPY.Volume SPY.Adjusted 
#2012-10-03   144.89   145.43  144.13    145.09  121283100       145.09 
#2012-10-04   145.64   146.34  145.44    146.13  124311600       146.13 
#2012-10-05   146.91   147.16  145.70    146.14  124842100       146.14 
#2012-10-08   145.60   146.12  145.31    145.64   78415400       145.64 
#2012-10-09   145.53   145.65  144.15    144.20  148872900       144.20 
This also works: 
startDate<-"2012-10-03" 
 endDate<-"2012-10-08" 
 startEndDate<-paste(startDate,endDate,sep="::") 
 dataspy[startEndDate,] 
#           SPY.Open SPY.High SPY.Low SPY.Close SPY.Volume SPY.Adjusted 
#2012-10-03   144.89   145.43  144.13    145.09  121283100       145.09 
#2012-10-04   145.64   146.34  145.44    146.13  124311600       146.13 
#2012-10-05   146.91   147.16  145.70    146.14  124842100       146.14 
#2012-10-08   145.60   146.12  145.31    145.64   78415400       145.64

Hi R,
How to get the range of values form startDate to lastDate as given below?.

#*****************************************************************
# Load historical data
#****************************************************************** 
library('quantmod')
endDate =Sys.Date()
startDate = as.Date(endDate-30, order="ymd")

dataspy = getSymbols("SPY", from = startDate, to=endDate, auto.assign =
FALSE)
lastDate=startDate+5

#subset first 5 days
dataspy['startDate::lastDate']
print(dataspy)

Thanks
veepsirtt
