I have a huge data-set with one column being of type date.
Of course I can import the data using this column as "factor" and then convert it later to dates, using:
sws.bezuege$FaktDat <- dates(as.character(sws.bezuege$FaktDat),
format = c(dates = "d.m.y"))But the conversion requires a huge amount of memory (and time), therefore I would like to use colClasses = c("Date"). My question is:
since I have format = c(dates = "d.m.y"), how can I pass this option to read.delim(..., colClasses = c("Date")) ?
thanks for a hint
cheers christoph
