Hi all.  I'm suddenly having problems with the following:
> FUT10Y<-read.table("C:\\FUT10YR.csv",header=TRUE,sep=",")
> head(FUT10Y)
       Date  PX_OPEN  PX_HIGH   PX_LOW  PX_LAST
1  1/5/1999 119.0000 119.1875 118.5312 118.6250
2  1/6/1999 118.5938 118.8750 118.2812 118.8438
3  1/7/1999 118.9062 119.0312 118.3750 118.5000
4  1/8/1999 118.4688 118.5625 117.5312 117.8125
5 1/11/1999 117.6562 117.7812 117.1250 117.5625
6 1/12/1999 117.5312 118.2188 117.2500 117.9688
> FUT10Y<-as.timeSeries(FUT10Y)
Error in midnightStandard2(charvec, format) :
  'charvec' has non-NA entries of different number of characters

I thought timeSeries auto-detected the dates and formatted appropriately.
 Should I set the format explicitly?  I've checked the raw data file and
didn't find an errant characters, although there are some NAs in the non
date column.

Thanks,

John
