Hi Hötzi


❝ Do you import the data with read.csv()? I would suggest read.table() instead.


Once I understand the underlying issue I can usually solve it, that part tends to be no problem. Yes I use both read.csv or read.table when importing tables but probably not in the smartest fashion, however that is otherwise defined.

It is a little beyond me that if I want abbreviated months then they are from a single set locale which may differs from the users. And when we work with the abbreviations through %b then the corresponding abbreviations get locale-dependent. The logic escapes me and confuses me. But once the dust settles in the back of my head, I can work out a solution, clumsy as it may be, with just a modest amount of effort. :-)

Pass or fail!

if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
