Hello,
It seems that "danish" is a numeric vector with attributes attached -
the attribute vector is POSIXct and is the same length as danish.
You can create this from a data frame like this:
x <- data.frame(Date = ISOdate(2007, 5, 1:10), Value = rnorm(10))
str(x)
'data.frame': 10 obs. of 2 variables:
$ Date :'POSIXct', format: chr "2007-05-01 12:00:00"
"2007-05-02
12:00:00" "2007-05-03 12:00:00" "2007-05-04 12:00:00"
...
$ Value: num 1.891 0.741 -0.368 1.701 -0.660 ...
xx <- x$Value
attr(xx, "times") <- x$Date
str(xx)
atomic [1:10] 0.0414 -0.7124 -1.2976 0.3101 0.4343 ...
- attr(*, "times")='POSIXct', format: chr [1:10]
"2007-05-01 12:00:00"
"2007-05-02 12:00:00" "2007-05-03 12:00:00" "2007-05-04
12:00:00" ...

Cheers, Mike.
