1) a vector of class Date with all the days between from and to (both of them included), OR
2) the amount of days between the two dates

Usage

dip(from, to, date.fmt = "%Y-%m-%d", out.type = "seq")

Arguments

`from`	Character indicating the starting date for creating the sequence. It has to be in the format indicated by `date.fmt`.
`to`	Character indicating the ending date for creating the sequence. It has to be in the format indicated by `date.fmt`.
`date.fmt`	character indicating the format in which the dates are stored in `from` and `to`, e.g. `%Y-%m-%d`. See `format` in `as.Date`. ONLY required when `class(dates)=="factor"` or `class(dates)=="numeric"`.
`out.type`	Character indicating the type of result that is given by this function. Valid values are: 1) `seq` : a vector of class Date with all the days between the two dates, OR 2) `nmbr`: a single numeric value with the amount of days between the two dates.

1) a vector of class Date with all the days between from and to (both of them included), OR
