[R] Converting date format

[Nutter, Benjamin]

If x is your vector of character date variables:

orig.date <- as.Date(x, format=c("%m/%d/%Y"))
new.date <- format(x, format=c("%m/%d/%y"))

R community:

Hello, I would to like to convert a character date variable from
%m/%d/%Y to %m/%d/%y. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have
tried functions for changing the formatting and removing the unnecessary
digits without success.

Mike
