similar to: I() fails on objects of class POSIXct (PR#1587)

I have a vector of dates. I wish to find the month end date for each. Any suggestions? e.g. For 12/15/05, I want 12/31/05, For 10/15/1995, I want 10/31/1995, etc __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list: working with date/times I have come across a problem that ISOdate and ISOdatetime are too slow on large vectors of data. I was surprised just until I looked at the implementation and the man page: "ISOdatetime and ISOdate are convenience wrappers for strptime". In other terms, they convert data to character representation first in order to create a POSIXlt object that is then

Can someone, please, explain the difference is results below (notice the isdst value) > unlist(as.POSIXlt('2005-7-1')) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 6 105 5 181 1 > unlist(as.POSIXlt(as.Date('2005-7-1'))) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 6 105 5 181 0

Full_Name: Petr Simecek Version: 2.5.1, 2.6.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (195.113.231.2) Several times I have experienced that a length of a POSIXt vector has not been computed right. Example: tv<-structure(list(sec = c(50, 0, 55, 12, 2, 0, 37, NA, 17, 3, 31 ), min = c(1L, 10L, 11L, 15L, 16L, 18L, 18L, NA, 20L, 22L, 22L ), hour = c(12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, 12L, NA, 12L,

Dear all, I have just detected what seems a minor inconsistence with data types. If one unlists a POSIXlt time with GMT zone gets a numeric vector, since the POSIXlt list has no `zone` element, while if one unlists a POSIXlt time with a non GMT zone (also non specifying tz if the Sys.timezone is not GMT) gets a character vector due to including the `zone` element. > x <-

Hi, I have a dataframe column of the form v<-c("Fri Feb 05 20:00:01.43000 2010","Fri Feb 05 20:00:02.274000 2010","Fri Feb 05 20:00:02.274000 2010","Fri Feb 05 20:00:06.34000 2010") I need to convert this to datetime form. I did the following.. lapply(v,function(x){strptime(x, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%OS %Y")}) This gives me a list that looks like

The return value of Sys.time() today with a timezone of US/Eastern is unchanged between 4.0.3-patched and devel, but on devel the following test fails all.equal(x, as.POSIXlt(x)) with x = Sys.time() This means that devel does not complete make tests (failure on tests/reg-tests-2.R) It is entirely possible that it is an error on my end, I use export TZ="US/Eastern" but I have been

Have you noticed any problems with big dates (>=1/1/2040) in R? Here is the bit of code that I'm having trouble with: > test.date <- strptime("1/1/2040",format="%m/%d/%Y") > > unlist(test.date) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 0 140 0 0 0 > > date.plus.one <- as.POSIXct(test.date) +

x = structure(list(date = structure(list(sec = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), min = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L), hour = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L), mday = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 8L, 9L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 15L, 16L, 17L, 18L, 19L, 22L, 23L, 24L,

Dear R-users, I use unlist of POSIX dates to extract the year, hour etc. With that I can search for files in my database which are in the form 'yyyymmddhh_synops.txt' However, I get stucked during midnight where unlist just gives NA's. The script is given below, the problem accurs at acc.period[16] (midnight). However when I write out the character, unlist works well. But

After installing R-3.4.0 I ran 'make check' which halted here: $ > tail reg-tests-1d.Rout.fail -n 16 > ## format()ing invalid hand-constructed POSIXlt objects > d <- as.POSIXlt("2016-12-06"); d$zone <- 1 > tools::assertError(format(d)) > d$zone <- NULL > stopifnot(identical(format(d),"2016-12-06")) > d$zone <- "CET" # =

I am finding that axis.POSIXct uses the local timezone for deciding where to put tic marks, even if the data being plotted are in another time zone. The solution is to use attr() to copy from the 'x' (provided as an argument) to the 'z' (used for the 'at' locations). I have pasted my proposed solution in section 1 below (as a diff). Then, in section 2, I'll put some

Yes, the potential issue I see is that make check fails when I explicitly set TZ. However, I set it to be the same as what the system reports when I login.

I realize it's -12C and we're having the next best thing to a blizzard but why can I not melt this data frame. I am missing something terribly obvious but I just don't understand what the error message is saying.

dear All, i'm trying to calculate the number of Mondays, Tuesdays, etc that each month within a date range has. I have time series data that spans 60 months and i want to calculate the number of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wed, etc of each month. (I want to control for weekly seasonality but my data is monthly). Is there an easy way to to this in R? or is there a package i could use? i did

Running strptime against all dates from around 1946, only 5/3/1992 was converted as "NA". Even stranger, it still seems to have a value associated with it (even though is.na thinks
