R help - Feb 2008 - Graph Axis

Hi I have data of exchange rates and time, and am trying to draw a graph that
will show the rates on the y axis and dates on the x axis. I am using the
following code: plot(rate, type='l', xlab='Date',
ylab='Rate', main='? to Euro rate over 5 years')This gives me
the graph I want although I want to display the dates on the x axis, even if its
just 2002, 2003,...2008. Attached is my data. Hope you can help.

You have to convert you date to be a Date class:

x <- read.table("/tempxx.txt", header=TRUE, as.is=TRUE)
x$Date <- as.Date(x$Date, "%d/%m/%Y")
plot(x$Date, x$Rate, type='l')
