Re: [R] How to change the default Date format for write.csv function?
Try this:
cat('"', paste(names(newD), collapse = '","'), '"\n', sep = '', file =
'temp.txt', append = TRUE)
cat(paste(apply(newD, 1,
function(l)paste('"', l[1], '",', l[2], ',', l[3], sep = "")),
collapse = "\n"), file = 'temp.txt', append = TRUE)
Using newD object from my previous email

Re: [R] How to change the default Date format for write.csv function?
Nice try, but that will turn off quote for all fields. I want quotes for
text fields, and no quotes for date and numeric fields. Please see the
desired CSV output in my previous email.

Re: [R] How to change the default Date format for write.csv function?
Hi,
This problem might be a little harder than it appears.
I receive a few emails all suggesting that convert the Date field to
character by calling format(date, "%m/%d/%Y") in one way or another. Well,
this is not the solution I'm looking for and it doesn't work for me. All
the date fields are generated with quotes around them, which will be
treated by other software as string instead of date. Please note, the
write.csv() function doesn't put quotes around date. All I need is to
change the format behavior of Date without adding any quotes. So the
output of CSV I'm looking for should be:
"ticker","date","price"
"IBM",12/03/2009,120
"IBM",12/04/2009,123
Not this:
"ticker","date","price"
"IBM","12/03/2009",120
"IBM","12/04/2009",123
Thanks for trying though.

[R] How to change the default Date format for write.csv function?

Hi,
I have a data.frame containing a Date column. When using write.csv()
function to generate a CSV file, I always get the Date column formatted as
"-MM-DD". I would like to have it formatted as "MM/DD/", but
could not find an easy way to do it.Here is the test code:
d <- data.frame(ticker=c("IBM", "IBM"), date = as.Date(c("2009-12-03",
"2009-12-04")), price=c(120.00, 123.00))
write.csv(d, file="C:/temp/test.csv", row.names=FALSE)
The test.csv generated looks like this:
"ticker","date","price"
"IBM",2009-12-03,120
"IBM",2009-12-04,123
I would like to have the date fields in the CSV formatted as "MM/DD/".
Is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

[R] How to change the default Date format for write.csv function?
Hi,
I have a data.frame containing a Date column. When using write.csv()
function to generate a CSV file, I always get the Date column formatted as
"-MM-DD". I would like to have it formatted as "MM/DD/", but
could not find an easy way to do it.Here is the test code:
d <- data.frame(ticker=c("IBM", "IBM"), date = as.Date(c("2009-12-03",
"2009-12-04")), price=c(120.00, 123.00))
write.csv(d, file="C:/temp/test.csv", row.names=FALSE)
The test.csv generated looks like this:
"ticker","date","price"
"IBM",2009-12-03,120
"IBM",2009-12-04,123
I would like to have the date fields in the CSV formatted as "MM/DD/".
Is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
