This is a general R question, not specific to Macintosh, so Id suggest asking on R-help, if you havent already.
In the meantime, if you had 20906 Would that be day 20 of month 9 or day 2 of month 09 ? Since your form is not consistent, you will probably have to either split the string apart into separate day, month, and year components, or perhaps stick a 0 on the front of the string when the number of characters is five, and then use the as.Date() function. The examples in the help page for as.Date should be sufficient to show you what to do. You will also receive better help if you show what you have tried. -Don On 10/23/10 6:19 AM, "sirme...@gmail.com" <sirme...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi list, I am having trouble getting R to read and display dates correctly. My dates are in the form of day (no space) month (no space) year, for example: 250706 and sometimes 50906. Any guidance would be appreciated...Thanks.
