Hi,

I have a data.frame containing a Date column.  When using write.csv() 
function to generate a CSV file, I always get the Date column formatted as 
"YYYY-MM-DD".   I would like to have it formatted as "MM/DD/YYYY", but 
could not find an  easy way to do it.    Here is the test code:

d <- data.frame(ticker=c("IBM", "IBM"), date = as.Date(c("2009-12-03", 
"2009-12-04")), price=c(120.00, 123.00))
write.csv(d, file="C:/temp/test.csv", row.names=FALSE)

The test.csv generated looks like this:

"ticker","date","price"
"IBM",2009-12-03,120
"IBM",2009-12-04,123

I would like to have the date fields in the CSV formatted as "MM/DD/YYYY". 
 Is there any easy way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
