[R] Changing string to date

[Christofer Bogaso]

Hello again,

I have a string which I need to put in some legitimate date format.

My string is: "MAY-14"

And output format would be "05/01/2014", this should be of Date class,
so that I can make some sensible calculation with it.

I have tried this without any success:

> as.Date("MAY-14", format = "%b-%y")
[1] NA


Can somebody help me how I can achieve that?

Thanks and regards,
