That is not a complete date! Which day of the week is it?
example1<-"200301" strptime(paste(example1, "1", format="%Y%U %d")
will work, and you need to do something like that to resolve the ambiguity.
Doesn't seem to work:
- 6th day of 5th week:
> strptime("2003 05 06", format="%Y %U %d")
[1] "2003-01-06"Ah ha. Use '%w' for 'day of week':
> strptime("2003 05 06", format="%Y %U %w")
[1] "2003-02-02"I dont have a calendar to hand to check that 2 Feb is the 6th day of the 5th week....
