Here is one way:
> mydays <- seq(as.Date("2010-01-01"), as.Date("2010-02-01"), by="1 day")
> myweekdays <- mydays[ ! weekdays(mydays) %in% c('Saturday','Sunday') ]
> myweekdays
[1] "2010-01-01" "2010-01-04" "2010-01-05" "2010-01-06" "2010-01-07"
[6] "2010-01-08" "2010-01-11" "2010-01-12" "2010-01-13" "2010-01-14"
[11] "2010-01-15" "2010-01-18" "2010-01-19" "2010-01-20" "2010-01-21"
[16] "2010-01-22" "2010-01-25" "2010-01-26" "2010-01-27" "2010-01-28"
[21] "2010-01-29" "2010-02-01"
This generates the sequence of days, then throws out the weekends (you could
also list the weekdays instead of the weekend days and drop the "!", but I am
lazy).
