r - Creating a Unique Sequence of Dates

Question

Let's say that I want to generate a data frame which contains a column with is structured in the following format.

2011-08-01
2011-08-02
2011-08-03
2011-08-04
...

I want to know if it's possible to generate this data with the seq() command.

Something like the following: (obviously doesn't work)

seq(2011-08-01:2011-08-31)

Would I instead have to use toDate and regex to generate this date in this specific format.

Answer 1

As I noted in my comment, seq has method for dates, seq.Date:

seq(as.Date('2011-01-01'),as.Date('2011-01-31'),by = 1)
