Hi,
I have a dataset in .dbf format. It contains Coordinates and Time.
The TIMESTAMP is as follows:
03/18/2006 13:30:37
I am not working with the TIMESTAMP column, but when I print out my
manipulated dataset using
*write.dbf* I get the value *390 *where the TIMESTAMP value should be. Can
Anyone help me out why R does this
and how I can correct it.
Probably the timestamp was read in as a factor.
Use as.character() followed by, e.g., strptime() to convert it to a time
format.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks
