It is really easy using R's date and datetime classes:
st <- as.Date("1998-12-17")
en <- as.Date("2000-1-7")
st0 <- st
# Get the 7th of the month before
st0 <- as.POSIXlt(st); st0$mday <- 7; st0$mon <- st0$mon - 1
st0 <- as.Date(st0)
ll <- seq.Date(st0, en, by="month")
sum(ll > as.Date(st) & ll < en)and use >= etc depending what you mean by `between'.

This is a eaeir way to ask my prior question:
I want to caculate how many an exact day of the month there is between two dates.
For example; How many 7th of the month is there between "1998/12/17" and "2000/1/7". To make the problem simple, the day of the month (7) is the day in the 2nd date.
