[R] Need help on "date"

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

One way (perhaps not the most efficient)

> as.Date("2005-09-01","%Y-%m-%d")
[1] "2005-09-01"
> format(as.Date("2005-09-01","%Y-%m-%d"),"%Y")
[1] "2005"
> format(as.Date("2005-09-01","%Y-%m-%d"),"%d")
[1] "01"
> format(as.Date("2005-09-01","%Y-%m-%d"),"%m")
[1] "09"
> 


See ?DateTimeClasses.
