Hi, I have a data.frame containing a Date column. When using write.csv() function to generate a CSV file, I always get the Date column formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD". I would like to have it formatted as "MM/DD/YYYY", but could not find an easy way to do it. Here is the test code:
d <- data.frame(ticker=c("IBM", "IBM"), date = as.Date(c("2009-12-03", "2009-12-04")), price=c(120.00, 123.00)) write.csv(d, file="C:/temp/test.csv", row.names=FALSE) The test.csv generated looks like this: "ticker","date","price" "IBM",2009-12-03,120 "IBM",2009-12-04,123 I would like to have the date fields in the CSV formatted as "MM/DD/YYYY". Is there any easy way to do this? Thanks in advance.
