Thanks for the help in addressing my query regarding the formatting of
dates. All the suggestions were very helpful and I seem to be on track with
solving the problem. Don, you are exactly right in your posting -- that
is, the issue of the leading zero. And that is where my problem is. When I
read the CSV file into R, the leading zero is dropped. Here is sample code
for reading the file. Can you give me a suggestion on how to keep the
leading zero? That seems to be my last remaining problem.
DATES <- read.csv("C:/Data/dates.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",", dec=".",
strip.white=TRUE)
Thanks in advance.
