...resent). What I have found so far includes: library(Rmetrics) time1 = timeDate(charvec = Sys.Date(), format = "%Y-%m-%d", zone = "", FinCenter = "") time2 = timeDate("2004-08-30", format = "%Y-%m-%d", zone = "", FinCenter = "") difftimeDate(time1,time2,units = "weeks") Does timeDate use the format strings used by the UNIX date(1) command? If so, then can I safely assume timeDate will accept "%Y-%U-%w", and behave correctly? Thanks, Ted [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi All, I've been having a little trouble with creating a loop that will run a a series of t.tests for inspection, Below is the code i've tried, and some checks i've looked at. I've used the get(paste()) idea as i was told previously that the use of the eval should try and be avoided. I've run a single syntax to check that my systax is correct and works without any problems
