I have a timeseries object, ts, and want to get the first date in the series
into a string so I can concatenate it with a SQL query. Input and output are
shown below. I must be missing something very basic, but I can't seem to
pry the data ("2008-07-01") into a string variable. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrew
=====script:
class(ts)
(ts[1,0]) #returns first date in return series
ttt<-(sprintf("%s",ts[1,0]))
print(ttt)
=====output:
> class(ts)
[1] "timeSeries"
attr(,"package")
[1] "timeSeries"
> (ts[1,0]) #returns first date in return series
GMT
2008-07-01
> ttt<-(sprintf("%s",ts[1,0]))
> print(ttt)
character(0)
