Hello, This is my first time posting to the R-help list and I apologize for the apparent triviality of my query. I am creating an R script to create Univariate Exploratory Analysis of a input dataset (No meta-data to provide extra information about each column) . Providing summary statistics is possible in case of numeric data and using all.is.numeric() from the Hmisc package allows me to filter out those columns with alpha-numeric content.
I have tried to check if a column is a date field or not, but have not been able to do so. Are Regular Expressions the only answer? I've also looked for CRAN packages but haven't found any. Bering a newbie user of R, I do not possess the requisite knowledge to write my own function for the above objective. Thank you for your time Harsh Decisions Systems Group Mu Sigma Inc.
