XTS Subsetting question (noob)

On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 5:04 AM, john.dempster78

Hi,
How can an xts object be subset using a date in a variable?
E.g. in below, what is the right syntax for Q to get the same value as P?
Obviously the syntax shown below doesnt work...
V is an xts object.

R

P <- V['2007-01-01/']
Q <- V['d/']

To clarify, d is a character string, not a Date.  In order for Q to be
like P, you need to create a character string from d that equals the
one you used to create P.  You can do this with paste().

Q <- V[paste(d,"/",sep="")]

Thanks,
J
