Hi .. i am a beginner in R

I have data in the format of

date
04/27/11
04/27/11
04/30/11
04/30/11
05/03/11
05/03/11
05/04/11....

So they are not yet dates, but rather character vectors. R dates don't look like that unless you make special efforts to mess them up.


Now i want to plot the data something like this on x-axis...

            ------------------
              27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4
              April             May
I also wanted to know how to place a "*" when a date is missing from the
data..

If you convert to dates, then the axis function should be able to properly label a plot.

my other question is plotting the error bars.. since you can see that i have
dates repeating. how to plot the error bars for count number of dates
detected...

Need a better description of the data. So far you have only said you have dates. You should probably... no, make that definitely... read the Posting Guide.


I would appreciate if someone could answer as soon as possible...

Answers given to the extent possible given the limitations of the question.


thank you in advance..
