In R, how to convert a character of specific format into a date?
Question
I have a character string that deals with time:
"2007-06-11T09:15:35Z"
However, I cannot convert this into date using the following command:
strptime("2007-06-11T09:15:35Z", paste("%y-%m-%d","T","%H:%M:%S","Z",sep=""))
I got the output as NA instead. What went wrong? How should I correctly deal with date and time?

Use the correct format. "%y" is for 2-digit years (without the century). You need "%Y" .
R> strptime("2007-06-11T09:15:35Z", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
