Try as.Date() with a suitable format (it only knows about 
internationally standard formats), e.g. maybe you mean



as.Date("6/10/2009 10:04:00 AM", format="%m/%d/%Y")

   Here's a few possibilites:


dts = c('6/10/2009 10:04:00 AM','6/15/2009 9:47:00 AM','6/15/2009 9:47:00 AM')
as.Date(sapply(strsplit(dts,' '),'[',1),'%m/%d/%Y')

as.Date(sub('(\\d+/\\d+/\\d+) .*','\\1',dts),'%m/%d/%Y')
