How about a representation of the data that one could so something with? By that I mean either by the "dump" method described in the Posting Guide or by using dput:

ttt <- c(1, 2) Did you honestly expect anyone in their right mind to reassemble that data from the console text output??? On Nov 29, 2009, at 10:46 AM, DispersionMap wrote:

As you can see its come out a little disorderly though.
I have to plot the number of events under each date in a time series.
How do i order the dates and their counts?
Well, you don't really have dates anymore, do you? You have week numbers with labels that look like dates. So ordering them is a piece of cake given the laws of mathematics. Weeks[order(Weeks)] #untested... no reproducible data Aggregating them into counts can be done with various functions, the most basic of which is table: table(Weeks) -- David.

library(chron)
?cut.dates
The argument breaks has several options including one of c("days",
"weeks", "months", "year")
dts <- Sys.Date() - 1:20

Year<-year(data[,"Raised.Date"]) Error: could not find function "year"
