If you are not in an English 'locale' you may have to set your locale to English. E.g., on Windows: > Sys.setlocale(locale="French") [1]"LC_COLLATE=French_France.1252;LC_CTYPE=French_France.1252;LC_MONETAR Y=French_France.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=French_France.1252" > strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") [1] NA NA NA NA > Sys.setlocale(locale="English") [1] "LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252" > strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") [1] "1960-01-01" "1960-01-02" "1960-03-31" "1960-07-30" Bill Dunlap Spotfire, TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com > > Any idea? > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > 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. > ______________________________________________ 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.
