[R] unlist() list of dates

[Ana]

Thanks!

Another question also related to the same type of files:

How can I transform it into a time series
as.ts()

I also endup having the same problem, the dates are transformed into a
list of numbers

My file looks like this
          dates        val
1    2001-01-12    1.2
2    2001-02-12    1.2
2    2001-03-12    1.2

(...)

class: data.frame
