Days in Period

Description

Given any starting and ending dates, it generates:
1) a vector of class Date with all the days between from and to (both of them included), OR
2) the amount of days between the two dates

Usage

dip(from, to, date.fmt = "%Y-%m-%d", out.type = "seq")

Arguments

from	Character indicating the starting date for creating the sequence. It has to be in the format indicated by date.fmt.
to	Character indicating the ending date for creating the sequence. It has to be in the format indicated by date.fmt.
date.fmt	character indicating the format in which the dates are stored in from and to, e.g. %Y-%m-%d. See format in as.Date. ONLY required when class(dates)=="factor" or class(dates)=="numeric".
out.type	Character indicating the type of result that is given by this function. Valid values are: 1) seq : a vector of class Date with all the days between the two dates, OR 2) nmbr: a single numeric value with the amount of days between the two dates.
