Dear Datatable-Help:
I'm running R version 2.14.1 and data.table 1.7.10 (on Windows 7 and Linux).
On both systems I get a strange result in the following toy example:
test <- data.table(A=c(1,2,3))
test[,B:= c("2011-01-01","2011-01-02","2011-01-03")]
test[,C:= strptime(c("2011-01-01","2011-01-02","2011-01-03"),format="%Y-%m-%d")]
Output:
A B C
[1,] 1 2011-01-01 0, 0, 0
[2,] 2 2011-01-02 0, 0, 0
[3,] 3 2011-01-03 0, 0, 0
Columns A and B show the expected behavior. Column C was supposed to simply
convert the date strings into DateTime types. Clearly this is not happening.
Please help.
Regards,
Alex
