Hello again,

I have a string which I need to put in some legitimate date format.

My string is: "MAY-14"

And output format would be "05/01/2014", this should be of Date class,
so that I can make some sensible calculation with it.

I have tried this without any success:

as.Date("MAY-14", format = "%b-%y")
[1] NA



You must have set an English locale (to recognize the word May as a month) and you have to add a day.

Best,
Uwe Ligges




Can somebody help me how I can achieve that?

Thanks and regards,
