Dear R Experts:
I am trying to convert a date and time character field to timeDate where the
month is presented as three letters, such as "JUN" for June, etc.
This is an example of the full character field:
"04-MAY-11 1428"
What is the proper format syntax?
I've tried
timeDate("04-MAY-11 1428",format="%d-%m-%y %H%M")
but only get
GMT
[1] [NA]
If I change the month to a number as below, then it works, but that would
require recoding of the data field.
timeDate("04-05-11 1428",format="%d-%m-%y %H%M")
gives
GMT
[1] [2011-05-04 14:28:00]
which is correct. How do I get R to recognize the month as a 3 letter
designator.
Any recommendations you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Michael
