Hi,
I have encountered a nuance in as.Date() behaviour that is not altogether
obvious - not sure whether this is intended or not:
> as.Date("2001-01-01error")
[1] "2001-01-01"
I.e. it ignores the rest of the characters. This happens both in 2.3.1 and
2.4.1 versions.
This also happens with explicit format specification:
> as.Date("2006-01-01error", format="%Y-%m-%d")
[1] "2006-01-01"
thank you
Vladimir Dergachev
