Subject: Convert date/time string to date
I am new to R and am trying to import a text file that contains
date/time and various fields. I want to sort this matrix by date and
also perform calculations on the date field (difference between two
dates etc).
The format of the string looks as follows:
x<-c("25/2/2003 0:00:00")
I tried:
as.Date(x,format='%d/%m/%y')
[1] "2020-02-25"
Obviously I am doing something wrong here. I would like to remove the
hh:mm:ss from the end of the string if possible.
Thanks for your help, I have been searching for hours and not getting anywhere.
