seq.Date when date is the last date of the month
Hello Dirk, Many thanks for the feedback. I did came across your SO answer but didn't know the RcppBDT package, thanks for pointing that out. Best regards, Jeremie

Jeremie,
As months have irregular number of dates, one needs to use a function that
accounts for that (date libraries and packages have that, one of the earliest
for R was my RcppBDT package using Boost Date_Time), or be otherwise clever.
Here is a one-liner using the latter approach:
seq(as.Date("2010-02-01"), length=24, by="1 month") - 1
See this old StackOverflow answer where I used this before:
