Solution

If your input dates are not in the standard format, a format string can be composed using the elements shown in Table . The following examples show some ways that this can be used: > as.Date(\'1/15/2001\',format=\'%m/%d/%Y\') [1] \"2001-01-15\" > as.Date(\'April 26, 2001\',format=\'%B %d, %Y\') [1] \"2001-04-26\" > as.Date(\'22JUN01\',format=\'%d%b%y\') # %y is system-specific; use with caution [1] \"2001-06-22\" Code Value %d Day of the month (decimal number) %m Month (decimal number) %b Month (abbreviated) %B Month (full name) %y Year (2 digit) %Y Year (4 digit)
