Hi, I have two data-frames which I want to match by a date-variable.
The problem now is, that the date-variable has a different format in this two data-frames. So simply matching by this variable wouldn't work. In the one data-frame the date-variable contains strings that look like this: 14.Aug.2012-16:32 3.Sep.2012-16:50 etc. in the other data-frame the date-variable looks like this: 2012.08.14 2012.09.3 is there an easy way to compare these two vectors? Or is there an easy way to transform 14.Aug.2012-16:32 into 2012.08.14 ? thanks! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
