Where is the strptime bug happening? I am seeing it on W95 W98 W2000 running Rterm under ntemacs 21.1 with ESS 5.1.19 and using cygwin 2001/08/31 15:52:16 Starting cygwin install, version 2.78.2.3 Is strptime using the bash from my system? or is it using functions that are included with R? R defaulted to 1900 when I didn't specify a year. The 1990 came from the help(beav1). When I explicitly place a year in the file, either the 1990 inidcated in the help(beav1) file or the 1900 chosen to match the default, then R gives me times consistent with the input.
tmp <- beav1[90:93,] tmp
day time temp activ 90 346 2340 36.93 0 91 346 2350 36.83 0 92 347 0 36.93 0 93 347 10 36.83 0
attach(tmp) strptime(paste(day, time %/% 100, time %% 100), "%j %H %M")
[1] "1900-01-01 23:40:00" "1900-01-01 23:50:00" "1900-01-01 00:00:00" [4] "1900-01-01 00:10:00"
strptime(paste(1900, day, time %/% 100, time %% 100), "%Y %j %H %M")
