You have to supply a 'day' or the date is not known: > c = '2009/10' > d=strptime(paste0(c, '/1'), format="%Y/%m/%d") > d [1] "2009-10-01" On Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 9:05 AM, paladini wrote: > Hello, > when I convert a factor like this a=01.10.2009 > into a date using b=strptime(a, format="%d. %

[R] date conversation

2012-07-23 Thread paladini
Hello, when I convert a factor like this a=01.10.2009 into a date using b=strptime(a, format="%d. %m. %Y"). It works very well. But when I try to convert c = 2009/10 into a date using d=strptime(c, format="%Y/%m") it doesnt work at all. I get d=NA. What did I do wrong? Thank you very much for you
