Hi R, I am using select.list names=c(Ravi, Raj,Shubha,Nivriti) select.list(names) provides a drop down to choose one of the 4 names.

Re: [R] Help on Select.list
Hi David, Thank you for your response. But that wasn't what I was looking for. names=c(Ravi, Raj,Shubha,Nivriti) select.list(names) gives a pop up with the 4 names. I just wanted in the pop up a heading (say BOYS) followed by two names and another heading (say GIRLS) and the remaining two names. Is there a way I can include headings in the select.list() Thank you once again for the help.

[R] subtract a specified number of days from current date

I need to create a vector say from (current date-90 days: current date) For example I need to subtract 90 days from say Sys.Date()-92 If Sys.Date()-92 == Sunday, Sys.Date()-92+1 if Sys.Date()-92 == Saturday, Sys.Date()-92+2 i.e if subtracting gives me a weekend I need the next work day. I used the below. ifelse(weekdays(seq(seq(tf[[i]][j,1],by=-1 day,length.out=90)[90])==Saturday,match(seq(tf[[i]][j,1],by=-1 day,length.out=90)[90]+2,tf[[i]][,1]),ifelse(weekdays(seq(tf[[i]][j,1], by=-1 day,length.out=90)[90])==Sunday,match(seq(tf[[i]][j,1],by=-1 day,length.out=90)[90]+1,tf[[i]][,1]),match(seq(tf[[i]][j, 1],by=-1 day,length.out=90)[90],tf[[i]][,1]))) I would be grateful If anybody can help me with a more elegant/efficient approach.

[R] Read in date fomat while colClasses=character
Hi R users, I am using xlsReadWrite to read a particular excel file. In one of the columns I have dates ( say col=5). Now date column is read by default as numeric. So I used dateTimeAs= isodatetime. This enables reading in the date format. However in the earlier column (say col=1) I have data which however starts from row 10. So to read data from column one I use colClasses=character. But this overrules the isodatetime. Now is there someway I can read in date format while keeping colClasses=character Thanks for your help Ravi [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
