R help - Mar 2010 - How to format dates (with no century)?

Hi,

I have dates in this kind of format (day, month, year):
> dput(head(dates, 10))
c("6.4.7", "29.12.98", "19.10.91",
"20.6.92", "2.9.3", "23.6.3",
"13.7.93", "23.3.7", "26.6.95",
"15.2.10")

So, as you can see, there is no century. How can I change this
character data into dates? Any help would be most appreciated.

Actually I found it:
> as.Date(strptime(dates, "%d.%m.%y"), "%Y-%m-%d")
 [1] "2007-04-06" "1998-12-29" "1991-10-19"
"1992-06-20" "2003-09-02"
"2003-06-23" "1993-07-13" "2007-03-23"
"1995-06-26" "2010-02-15"
