G'day all,

 

I have many, very long time series' that come in to R in txt format and
so the date column is structured:

20081121

I would like them all to look like 2008-11-21 but cannot find any way to
add these characters to all dates in one column in R. 

I have way too many files to do it manually in a spreadsheet program
like excel.

Any ideas please ?

 

thanks

 

James
