G'day all,
I have many, very long time series' that come in to R in txt format and so the date column is structured: 20081121 I would like them all to look like 2008-11-21 but cannot find any way to add these characters to all dates in one column in R. I have way too many files to do it manually in a spreadsheet program like excel. Any ideas please ? thanks James Dr James Smith Senior Ecologist, EWL Sciences Ph: 08 8942 5759 Fax: (08) 8942 5790 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This email is confidential and may also be privileged.
