For some reason I thought that I could read some text into dates without a separator? Am I wrong?
Examples Works, it appears ccc <- c("2011-04-07", "1989-10-12") x <- strptime(ccc, "%Y-%m-%d") Does not work ddd <- c("20110407", "19891012") y <- strptime(ccc, "%Y%m%d") Does this mean I would have to parse the data in ddd and add separators? Or am I missing some option in the help on strptime?
