String concatenation, File Path Handling to pass to download.file( ) [backslash in DOS paths]
Gabor,
Thanks much. Your solution is elegant. My overall scheme is to take
present date, and check whether it is a weekend, if not, then create a
string based on the date, to concatenate into a url link for
download.file( ). The files I need to download have a part which is in
the format: mmddyy. I am working to make myself a system to connect to
exchanges, and download end of day files from

try / tryCatch for download.file( ) within a for loop when URL does not exist
I am trying to download a bunch of files from a server, for which I am
using download.file( ) within a for loop. The script is working fine
except until download.file hits a URL which has no file, at which
point it exits. I want to change this behavior to simple log the
failure and maintain state within the for loop and iterate to next. I

diff in a dataframe
I have a dataframe say:
date price_g price_s
0.34 0.56
0.36 0.76

and so on. say, 1000 rows.
Is it possible to add two columns to this dataframe, by computing say
diff(log(price_g) and diff(log(price_s)) ?
The elements in the first row of these columns cannot be computed, but

changing the day of the week in dates format
Dear all,
I have a question related to the POSIXlt function in R.
I have a set of dates and times, for exmaple:

ApEn (Approximate Entropy), Total Corr, Information Interaction
Is there any existing implementation in R/S of :
1] Pincus & Kalman's approximate entropy (ApEn) measure
2] Total Correlation / Multiinformation
3] Information Interaction
A search doesn't quite reveal anything, but I'd be keen to not
reinvent in case someone has worked on it. Many thanks in
anticipation.

zoo object
I have an ordered series of 3 month t-bill rates (annual). I transform
this to a daily series, however, the observations are constructed only
from the dates on which the t-bills were issued, which is every week.
So now I have ordered observations of the daily 'risk-free rate' for
one day every week. I want to expand this zoo object to give a value
for every day, and to do so, copy the

n Realizations of a Stochastic Process assigned to dynamically generated variable names?
I am interested in creating multiple (say 1000) time series, from a
given stochastic process, of length 250. I want to refer to each
realization with its own variable name, of the format say, tsn, where
n is the n'th simulation. i.e. ts1, ts2, ts3, ts4, .... , ts1000
The way I am thinking of doing this is placing the following code
within another loop, and the 'tsn' assignment should

Representing 'Date' as 'Year - Quarter'
I have financial data on a a set of firms, with a quarterly period
(fundamental data). The data spans 10 years, and four quarters per
year. The present file (.csv) reads the Date columns as "200706" for
the second quarter of 2007; "199809" for the third quarter of 1997.
Is there a way I can convert it to something like "2007 Q2", "1998 Q3"?

getting ISO week
Hi all,
Is there a simple function already implemented for getting the ISO
weeks of a Date object?
I couldn't find one, and so wrote my own function to do it, but would
appreciate a pointer to the "default" way. If a function is not yet
implemented, could the code below be of interest to submit to CRAN?

The presence/absence of `zone` in POSIXlt depending on time zone as a cause of possible inconsistences?
Dear all,
I have just detected what seems a minor inconsistence with data types. If one unlists a POSIXlt time with GMT zone gets a numeric vector, since the POSIXlt list has no `zone` element, while if one unlists a POSIXlt time with a non GMT zone (also non specifying tz if the Sys.timezone is not GMT) gets a character vector due to including the `zone` element.

Wrong length of POSIXt vectors (PR#10507)

Version: 2.5.1, 2.6.1

Submission from: (NULL) (195.113.231.2)

difficulty in Formatting time series data
Dear R-Gurus
I have a data frame (from CSV file) which has its first column called Date.
The Date is in the format mm/dd/yyyy. I was trying to get the weekday for
these dates and I tried using wday() and day.of.week() functions and both
of them gave me precisely the wrong answers. I think the issue lies in the
proper formatting of dates. The class of this column is a factor class and
hence I
