[R] Datetime conversion

[Girish A.R.]

I'm not able to replicate your problem. Here's what I get. See if this is
what you want:

> dt$date<-strptime(as.character(dt$datetime),"%d%b%Y") 
> dt
                datetime       date
1 01OCT1987:00:00:00.000 1987-10-01
2 12APR2004:00:00:00.000 2004-04-12
3 01DEC1987:00:00:00.000 1987-12-01
4 01OCT1975:00:00:00.000 1975-10-01
5 01AUG1979:00:00:00.000 1979-08-01
6 26JUN2003:00:00:00.000 2003-06-26
7 01JAN1900:00:00:00.000 1900-01-01
8 13MAY1998:00:00:00.000 1998-05-13
9 30SEP1998:00:00:00.000 1998-09-30

cheers,
