Hi, I have the following dataframe: ID Dates 1 16-07-01 06-10-95 2 24/01/02 06-10-95 3 16/01/02 16/08/94 12/01/91
And I would like to extract the dates, but couple the ID's to the right dates, eg: ID Dates 1 16-07-01 1 06-10-95 2 24-01-02 2 .... I have no clue about how to get started, looks something for the regexp/grep/... kind of functions, but I don't get the point. Any thoughts?? Kind regards Bart Joosen PS: for the reconstruction of the dataframe: dat <- structure(list(ID = c(1, 2, 3), Dates = structure(c(2L, 4L, 6L ), .Label = c("16-01-02 16-08-94", "16-07-01 06-10-95", "24-01-02 06-10-95", "24/01/02 06-10-95", "16/01/02 16/08/94", "16/01/02 16/08/94 12/01/91" ), class = "factor")), .Names = c("ID", "Dates"), row.names = c(NA, 3L), class = "data.frame") -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Extract-dates-from-dataframe-tp22369479p22369479.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
