Finally, there is the `strptime` function in case your dates are
written in a different format

```r
```{r}
datestring <- c("January 10, 2012 10:40", "December 9, 2011 9:10")
x <- strptime(datestring, "%B %d, %Y %H:%M")
x
## [1] "2012-01-10 10:40:00" "2011-12-09 09:10:00"
class(x)
## [1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt"
```
I can _never_ remember the formatting strings. Check `?strptime` for details.
