Dear Group, Why does write.csv modify the date format when it write to a file.
I have the following variable Param_Dat: dput(Param_Dat) structure(list(Last_Successful_Run = structure(1L, .Label = "30/10/2010", class = "factor")), .Names = "Last_Successful_Run", class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -1L)) When I do: write.csv(Param_Dat,"Param.csv",quote=F,row.names=F) The format of the info in the file is: Last_Successful_Run 31OCT2010 I want to retain the dd/mm/YYYY format ... Please advise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- Thanks R-Helpers. Yes, this is a silly question and it will not be repeated! :-) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
