He asked for week numbers. That's nothing like as easy, as it is not well-defined. But
strftime(as.POSIXlt(x), "%U")
[1] "26" "26" "27" "27" "27"
is one possibility ("%W" is another). This approach will do the other
requests just as easily.
%W seems to be what is known as "ISO dates" (week starts on Monday), except that
strftime(as.POSIXlt(as.Date("2005-01-01")), "%U")
[1] "00" should be week 53, 2004 according to my printed calendar, and emacs calendar-mode too.

This is one way to do it.
x<-c("2005-07-01", "2005-07-02","2005-07-03","2005-07-04","2005-07-05")
x
[1] "2005-07-01" "2005-07-02" "2005-07-03" "2005-07-04" "2005-07-05"
substr(x,1,4)
[1] "2005" "2005" "2005" "2005" "2005"
substr(x,6,7)
[1] "07" "07" "07" "07" "07"
substr(x,9,10)
[1] "01" "02" "03" "04" "05"
