yet another possibility...
if you look at 'help(package=xlsReadWrite)' you'll find a function
'dateTimeToStr' by which you can convert your date-numbers from column 3
into a string. Something along (untested):
myRead <- function( fn ) {
dat <- read.xls( file = fn, dateTimeAs = "numeric" )
dat[,3] <- dateTimeToStr( dat[,3] ) # or any other conversion function
dat
}
'dateTimeAs' argument is (probably) needed to retrieve plain numbers and
override the default conversion to date string.
