Re: [R] as>date parsing

Try this. sprintf formats it with a leading 0 if necessary and then as.Date processes that: as.Date(sprintf("%06d", c(280210, 10210)), "%d%m%y") Note Feb only has 28 days this year so I changed the example. On Sat, Mar 6, 2010 at 10:17 AM, ManInMoon wrote: > > I have text date colum with dates

Re: [R] as>date parsing

There are lots of ways to deal with text. One possibility would be to check the length with nchar(), and if it is 5, use paste() to add a 0 to the beginning. Granted, not elegant. Sarah On Sat, Mar 6, 2010 at 10:17 AM, ManInMoon wrote: > > I have text date colum with dates such at 290210 which I

[R] as>date parsing

I have text date colum with dates such at 290210 which I can parse with %d%m%y but I also have date without leading zeo i.e. 10210 (Ist Feb 2010) which cause any NA. How can I parse the second one? -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/as-date-parsing-tp1582868p1582868.html Sent
