Did you mean:
tranformation
2009 Mar 24

two different date formats in the same variable
...uot;%m/%d/%Y")
strptime(x,"%m/%d/%Y")
as.Date(x, "%m/%d/%Y")
But what happens when a few of the entries get messed up because they
are actually formatted %m/%d/%y.
Is there a robust date formatter? Alternatively how would one code
(presumably using regular expressions) a transforamtion or
substitution only on the errant entries and thereby turn 06/25/04 into
06/25/2004 and 03/03/59 into 03/03/1959?
