Hi everybody When I try example of strptime x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") z <- strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") The result is; > z [1] NA NA NA NA I have got the same result with complete form of month but not with numeric form. Any idea? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm using R V 2.2.1. When I try an example from the as.Date help page, I get an error. > x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") > z <- as.Date(x, "%d%b%Y") Error in strptime(x, format) : 2 arguments passed to 'strptime' which requires 3 > Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Hello, How do you change the language of the labels in a graph. In this example, I want to get French labels by changing Sys.putenv. I should get "Mai" instead of "May". Sys.putenv(LANGUAGE="fr") x <- as.Date(c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960"), "%d%b%Y") y <-1:4 plot(x,y) Regards, Pierre Lapointe ************************************************** AVIS DE NON-RESPONSABILITE: Ce document transmis par courrie...{{dropped}}

Hello, strptime is still not working correctly in my computer (Windows 98 and R Version 1.3.1) From x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") I obtain [1] "NA" "NA" "NA" "NA" while x <- c("01011960", "02011960", "3131960", "3071960") strptime(x, "%d%m%Y") gives [1] "1960-01-...

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with strptime. (R 1.9.1 on a Win2000 machine) I have a large list containing 6 columns and 161800 rows. One column contains dates that I want to convert in order to compare the different dates. Some dates work just fine while others become NA. I don't see any difference between the dates. I've attached an example from my code. Hope this explains my
