Dear Group,
Why does write.csv modify the date format when it write to a file.
I have the following variable Param_Dat:
dput(Param_Dat)
structure(list(Last_Successful_Run = structure(1L, .Label =
"30/10/2010",
class = "factor")), .Names = "Last_Successful_Run", class =
"data.frame",
row.names = c(NA,
-1L))
When I do:
write.csv(Param_Dat,"Param.csv",quote=F,row.names=F)
The format of the info in the file is:
Last_Successful_Run
31OCT2010
Unable to reproduce. When I execute that code I get this file:
Last_Successful_Run
30/10/2010
I'm guessing you are viewing that file with something other than a
plain text editor.
I want to retain the dd/mm/YYYY format ...
Please advise.
