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?

Regards

Katherine

Dear R forum



I have a data.frame



df = data.frame(dates = c("4/15/2013", "4/14/2013", "4/13/2013", "4/12/2013"), 
values = c(47, 38, 56, 92))



I need to to create a vector by repeating the dates as



"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



i.e. I need to create a new vector as given below which I need to use for some 
other purpose.



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



Is it possible to construct such a

 column?



Regards



Katherine
