Hello,
I have problems using the functions as.Date and strptime/strftime of
base package and some functions of package zoo in my computer (Apple,
Mac OS X 10.3.9).
When I use them, the R application closes... However, it depends on the
length of the vector I want to transform.
For example, in the data.frame:
climat[c(1:5,1460:1462),]
date TEMP_STG PRECIP_STG
1 01/01/01 24.51 0.6
2 02/01/01 24.51 1.2
3 03/01/01 24.51 27.1
4 04/01/01 24.32 36.9
5 05/01/01 24.12 22.2
1460 30/12/04 25.32 0.0
1461 31/12/04 25.76 1.0
1462 01/01/05 25.88 0.0
class(climat$date) character
If I do:
date=strptime(climat$date,format="%d/%m/%y") then R closes.
However if I do
d=strptime(climat$date[1:5],format="%d/%m/%y") and then
date=strptime(climat$date,format="%d/%m/%y") it works!
(idem with functions as.Date, as.yearmon, etc..)
I already re-downloaded R but it still doesn't work.
Has this bug been reported?
How can I overcome this problem?
Thank you very much for any help!
