Hello all, kind regards, I have imported a data.frame from SPSS using "foreign":read.spss but unfortunately it is reading dates in a way neither R nor myself can understand.
> book$DATE [1] 13502246400 13443321600 13477795200 13472956800 13501728000 13445395200 13501382400 13502851200 13444185600 13461465600 13457232000 [12] 13458096000 13432435200 13431484800 13495334400 13491964800 13451184000 13490755200 13505616000 13505616000 13502851200 13436928000 [23] 13497408000 13465094400 13484707200 13447555200 13438483200 13464489600 13494816000 13432435200 13455676800 13463884800 13455417600 [34] 13478400000 13504665600 13490150400 13504060800 13471401600 13492915200 13465958400 13445136000 I have looked around the documentation but can find nothing similar there or in Spector's chapter on Dates How do I coerce these to %d%m%Y form?
