[R] date & time manipulation- R 2.15.1 windows 7

[arun]

HI,

1. 

date1<-c("5 jan 2013", "1 jan 2013")
 date1<-as.Date(date1,format="%d %b %Y")
date1[1]-date1[2]
#Time difference of 4 days


2. 


If you only have the week number of year without any other information, it would be difficult to predict which day that would be.
You could get the week number from the date:
library(lubridate)
 date2<-"2013-01-26"
wday(ymd(date2),label=TRUE)
# 1 parsed with %Y-%m-%d
#[1] Sat


week(ymd(date2))
# 1 parsed with %Y-%m-%d
#[1] 4
A.K.
