Hello,

I have been surprised when converting a character string to a date with the 
following
format,

in R 4.1.0 (linux debian 10)

as.Date("20-12-2020","%Y-%m-%d")
[1] "20-12-20"

in R 4.0.5 (window 10)

as.Date("20-12-2020","%Y-%m-%d")
[1] "0020-12-20"

Yes, it is rather strange to specify "2020" as the day and "20" as the 4digits year, so different implementations may print the year in 2 or 4 digits. What you want is actually

as.Date("20-12-2020","%d-%m-%Y")


Best,
Uwe Ligges








Here I was expecting a blunt and sharp NA, am I missing something?

Best regards,
Jeremie
