[R] Designating a new year (Sept-Aug) in R

If I have data (below) and need some help in figuring out how I can change the
values of my date column, so that a year will be from September-August? So the
year
1990 = September 89-August 90; 1991
 = September 90-August 91, etc... 

I was trying to use the if() function, but am unable to figure it out. I
basically need to change the years associated with September-December to the
following year. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I will have to power through
 it and do it all manually in excel. I am sorry that I do not have the original
data associated with this posting, nor any R code with it. I really do not have
a clue how to even start designating the new year.

head(mydata)
class(mydata)
"data.frame"
         site            date                precipitation temp_max temp_min
1 Castle Peak January-70             0       32       18
2 Castle Peak January-70             0       39        9
3 Castle Peak January-70             0       34        5
4 Castle Peak January-70             0       30        7
5 Castle Peak January-70             0       40        6
6 Castle Peak January-70             0       45       10

Thank you in advance and please let me know what else I can include to help
solve this issue. this is my first posting on R-help.

[R] Designating a new year (Sept-Aug) in R

Hello,

I don't know if this is it, do you want a 4 digit year or month-yy? The 
following function returns month-yy.


fun <- function(x, format = "%B-%y"){
     fmt <- format
     x <- as.Date(paste("01", x, sep = "-"), format =
paste("%d", fmt,
sep = "-"))
     m <- as.integer(format(x, "%m"))
     y <- as.integer(format(x, "%y"))
     y <- ifelse(9 <= m & m <= 12, y + 1, y)
     format(as.Date(paste(y, m, 1), "%y %m %d"), fmt)
}

x <- Sys.Date() + 30*(-12:12)
x <- format(x, "%B-%y")

fun(x)

I don't believe it's hard to change to 4 digit year, just change the 
return format to "%Y" (last line of code).

Hope this helps,
