Dear Andrija Djurovic, Thanks for the suggestion. Ia m aware of "rep". However, here I need to repeat not only dates, but a string "Current_date". Thus, I need to create a vector ( to be included in some other data.frame) with the name say "dt" which will contain
dt Current_date 4/15/2013 4/14/2013 4/13/2013 4/12/2013 Current_date 4/15/2013 4/14/2013 4/13/2013 4/12/2013 Current_date 4/15/2013 4/14/2013 4/13/2013 4/12/2013 So this is combination of dates and a string. Hence, I am just wondering if it is possible to create such a vector or not?
