Hi,
Let say I have a date variable like this:
structure(1243792800, class = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone
= "GMT")
[1] "2009-05-31 18:00:00 GMT"
How can I make it 10 days prior, so:
[1] "2009-05-21 18:00:00 GMT"
I'm randomly selecting dates from a list and want a second value a set #
of days either before or after.
Thanks ahead of time.

Hi,
Try this:
dat1<-structure(1243792800, class = c("POSIXct",
"POSIXt"), tzone = "GMT")
?dat2<-as.POSIXlt(dat1)
?dat2$mday<-dat2$mday-10
?dat2
#[1] "2009-05-21 18:00:00 GMT"
A.K.
