HI Joshua, Thanks for providing much easier solution.
But, I am getting the output from dat1 as: # inputDate startDate endDate #1 2012-09-27 2012-09-27 00:00:01 2012-09-27 23:59:59 #2 2012-09-28 2012-09-28 00:00:01 2012-09-28 23:59:59 #3 2012-07-24 2012-07-24 00:00:01 2012-07-24 23:59:59 #4 2012-06-05 2012-06-05 00:00:01 2012-06-05 23:59:59 #5 2012-12-03 2012-12-03 00:00:01 2012-12-03 23:59:59 OP's request: "Can anyone please help to get "StartDay" and "End-day of a particular date" with time ? For eg:- Input wil be "2012-09-27" i need to get output as given below StartDt <- "2012-09-01 12:00:01 AM" EndDt <- "2012-09-30 11:59:59 PM" " May be there is something you forgot to add in the reply.

This is much clearer: dat1 <- data.frame(inputDate=Dt, startDate=do.call(c,lapply(Dt, firstof, 0, 0, 1)), endDate=do.call(c,lapply(Dt, lastof, 23, 59, 59))) -- Joshua Ulrich | about.me/joshuaulrich FOSS Trading | www.fosstrading.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: R.
