Hello,

What I did was:

DF <- read.table(text = "
date                    evap     precip    intercept
10/01/1995-00:00:00       1.5          2            0.2
10/01/1995-12:00:00       1.7          2.2         0.1
10/02/1995-00:00:00       1.5          1.8         0.3
", header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

str(DF)

DF$date <- as.POSIXct(DF$date, format = "%m/%d/%Y-%H:%M:%S")
str(DF)

And it worked with no errors.

Probably you need to use

file1 <- read.table('df', header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

str(file1)

generally shows you all sorts of useful things about the file you have
just imported into R.

Hi Rui,

Thanks for your reply. When I read in data using my code, the first column
ranges from 0 to 1. So when I use the code you wrote, it shows the error
message:
Error in as.POSIXct.numeric(DF$Date, format = "%m/%d/%Y-%H:%M:%S") :
'origin' must be supplied

Hello,

Have you tried

df$date <- as.POSIXct(dat$date, format = "%m/%d/%Y-%H:%M:%S")

?

Hope this helps,

Hi R users,

I'm trying to read in data, and then plot time series data. However, I
have
some problems. In my dataset, the first column represents time, and in the
format:
mm/dd/yyyy-hr:min:sec; For example, 10/01/1995-00:00:00,
10/01/1995-06:00:00, etc.

df:
             date                    evap     precip    intercept
10/01/1995-00:00:00       1.5          2            0.2
10/01/1995-12:00:00       1.7          2.2         0.1
10/02/1995-00:00:00       1.5          1.8         0.3
...

My code is like this
file1 = read.table('df', head=T)

When I read in data, I found that it read incorrectly. How to format when
read in data? Thanks.
