readcsvIts

I believe you need:

its(readcsvIts("brenthf.csv",informat="%d/%m/%Y %H:%S"))

Hello,

I am trying to read a .CSV file from Bloomberg of prices (for an "its"
series) of the following format:

             Date	      Price	
23/10/2006 09:59	 57.291	
23/10/2006 10:01	 57.221	
23/10/2006 10:02	 57.201	
23/10/2006 10:03	 57.231	
23/10/2006 10:04	 57.191	
23/10/2006 10:05	 57.191	
23/10/2006 10:06	 57.141	
23/10/2006 10:07	 57.081	

I get the following:

its.format("%d/%m/%Y %X")
[1] "%d/%m/%Y %X"
brent<-its(readcsvIts(filename="brenthf.csv"))
Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class "its" object: 
Missing values in dates

What am I doing wrong? Used %H:%S as well but nothing improved...

The csv file looks fine...

Using the latest versions of R and its library on windows XP.

Thanks in advance,
Costas
