R help - Jun 2012 - Transform date - style

Hello,

is there any posibility to automatically transform this date notation  
"X01.11.2010"               into             "01.Nov.10"  ?

I did not see it before starting my simulation and now I have to deal with
it.
It is no problem for my calculations but for my graphical outputs I would
like to have  01.Nov.10 .

Thanks

Try this:

old.date <- "X01.11.2010"
new.date <-
format(as.Date(old.date,format="X%d.%m.%Y"),"%d.%b.%y")

[1] "01.Nov.10"

Hi,
Try this:
date1<-"X01.11.2010"
date2<-strftime(strptime(date1,"X%d.%m.%Y"),"%d.%b.%y")
?date2
[1] "01.Nov.10"

A.K.
