Hello there fellow R-users, 

I have received some data which comes in the following format: 

example1<-"200301"

The first 4 digits correspond to the year and the remaining 2 digits
correspond to the week of the year. 
I have tried to convert this to a date by using strptime as follows:

strptime(example1,format="%Y%U")

where U (looking up strptime) is the week of the year but it always returns
NA. 

ANy help in successfully converting this string format to a date would be
much appreciated

Regards

Wayne
