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, 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",

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]]

Hi everyone, I have been trying to compute numbers of days between two dates as follows: > x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") > z <- format(x, "%d%b%Y") > ex <- c("1jan1961", "15jan1960", "21mar1975", "10jul1981") > ez <- format(ex, "%d%b%Y") > ez-z

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

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

Dear friends. Library Date was updated recently. I do not remember having seen the error below until now ? The plot title is made appropriately but the error message may be annoying, right ? I use version 1.1 on windows 98. library(date) tt <- as.date(c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960")) plot(tt,c(1:4),main="How's that ?")

Hi, The help file for strptime has the following code which doesn't work for me: ## read in date info in format `ddmmmyyyy' x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") z <- strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") > z [1] "NA" "NA" "NA" "NA" Do these work for other people?

Hi. I'm sure this is a complete green-horn question. I apologize. I'm trying to use as.Date *exactly* as shown on p. 194 of the manual (code fragment and error message pasted below). Is there some kind of "include" or "import" statement that I need to issue? Thank you very much for saving what remains of my hair. > x <- c("1jan1960",

Hi, How do I make a request to the Rails team to include a line something like: js_options[''savingText''] = %(''#{options[:saving_text]}'') if options [:saving_text] in the in_place_editor method? script.aculo.us supports the ''savingText'' option to control the text displayed while saving after an in-line edit. Having the ability to

Hi, I''m sure I''m doing something dumb, but... I have an application that dynamically produces UTF8 encoded html exclusively. This application works using webrick without a problem. When using Mongrel 3.12.4 it looks as though the encoding is lost and garbage appears on the string. I suppose this could also be a double encoding, but personally, I can''t tell the

This is definitely obscure but we had a unit test that called .Internal(strptime, "1942/01/01", %Y/%m/%d") with timezone (TZ) set to CET. In R-3.1.3 that returned "1942-01-01 CEST" which, paradoxically, is correct as they evidently did strange things in Germany during the war period. Java also returns the same. However, R-3.2.4 returns "1942-01-01 CET".

Hi, I''ve listened in to this mail list for quite a while now but not doing anything with Ferret until I was ready to incorporate it. I''ve used Lucene for years, but not Ferret. I downloaded and installed the ''bleeding edge'' version (lets call it 0.10.9.1). There appears to be a significant re-working of the API happening. It all looks good. But there

Hi, I''m trying to use mongrel 0.3.13 with Rail 1.0 Believe it or not, on OS/X it works well for weeks at a time. On linux I''m getting Input/output errors after anything from a few hours to days, never more than a week. Once they start they don''t stop. The only pattern I''ve seen is that it always (seems) to happen while rendering an rhtml file.

Hi, So I''ve started mucking about with Merb. I''m doing some experimenting with some product ideas. Things are working out quite well, Merb is a pleasure to use. It seems very fast too. A couple of rough spots but that might be me, if they are still chaffing after a few more days I''ll mention them. One thing... I wrote a controller and a view with several

Are there any XML databinding frameworks available for Ruby / Rails, such as Castor or JaXB for Java? Also are there framework such as Apache Axis for WebServices for Rails or Ruby?
