Well, this is what I tried when reading the docs, but
> mydata <- read.csv(file='mydata.dat', sep = '\t', quote='',
> fill=TRUE,header=TRUE )
> datum <- as.Date(mydata["date"], "%d.%m,%y")
Error in as.Date.default(mydata["date"], "%d.%m,%y") :
do not know how to convert 'mydata["date"]' to class "Date"
I also tried:
> datum <- strptime(imydata["date"], "%d.%m,%y")
> datum
[1] NA
I guess it is a very simple thing I'm doing wrong and missinterpret
the docs.
Thanks for the quick response
Andreas.
