Or, convert your object of class Date to POSIXlt, and then use the yday element of the resulting list. Example:

today <- Sys.Date()
as.POSIXlt(today)$yday

I want to find the DOY (Day of Year) of some dates. I think to substract the 
date 1. January from the data to achive this. Something like:

 d <- as.Date("2006-03-13") - as.Date("2006-01-01") +1
d
Time difference of 72 days

So far so good. But d is a 'difftime' object. How do I get an Integer value 
from that?

I tried severel things, incuding the following:

dd <- as(d,"numeric")
Error in .classEnv(thisClass) : unable to find an environment containing class "difftime"

Sugestions appriciated...
