R help - Nov 2019 - transforming dates

R-Help Forum

 

I have a data set that contains a date field but the dates are in two
formats

 

11/7/2016            dd/mm/yyyy

14-07-16               dd-mm-yy

 

How would I go about correcting this problem. 

 

I'm thinking something like ..

 

for (i in 1:length(myDat$date)){ 

                    if ((myDat$date [i]) = <some sort of format> { 

  <format one way, <else format another way> 

  } 

}

 

Or something like this 

 

 

Sincerely
