[R] Datetime conversion

[premmad]

Sorry for confusing you all with my inexperienced posting .
I tried as u said if you have 9 rows in the data it is working fine but
please try out the same example as you have suggested earlier with morethan
9 rows.

I tried it as following
datetime <-c(
+ "01OCT1987:00:00:00.000",
+  "12APR2004:00:00:00.000",
+   "01DEC1987:00:00:00.000",
+  "01OCT1975:00:00:00.000",
+   "01AUG1979:00:00:00.000",
+  "26JUN2003:00:00:00.000",
+  "01JAN1900:00:00:00.000",
+  "13MAY1998:00:00:00.000",
+  "30SEP1998:00:00:00.000",
+  "30SEP1998:00:00:00.000",
+  "30SEP1998:00:00:00.000",
+  "30SEP1998:00:00:00.000") 
dt <- as.data.frame(datetime) 

dt$date<-strptime(as.character(dt$datetime),"%d%b%Y") 

and got the following error :

Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "date", value = list(sec = c(0, 0,  : 
  replacement has 9 rows, data has 12.
