Subject: [R] Date handling in R is hard to understand
Dear All,
I usually work with time
Thank you all for taking your time and looking at this problem. Yes, date
handling is a problem with many languages. I have resolved the rbind not
being able to handle different data formats in a column for this specific
problem by making the data format a character and later convert back to
I agree w/ lubridate.I also would like to mention that date handling
is amazingly difficult in ALL computer languages, not just R. Take a stroll
through sites like thedailywtf.com to see how quickly people get into
tarpits full of thorns when trying to deal with leap years, weeks vs month
Have a look at the lubridate package. It claims to try to make
dealing with dates easier.

Hi Mihretu,
Can you grep for AM or PM? If so build your format string depending
upon whether one of these exists in the date string.
