I have an example dataframe:
a <- c("08/11/2012 15:45","08/11/2012 15:51",
"09/11/2012 09:02","10/11/2012 15:45",
"14/11/2012 15:45")
b <- c(1:5)
df1 <- data.frame(a,b)
I want to use a summary-type function to inform me which unique dates I have in my df1. Is there a way of using a function that only looks at a part of a column? (i.e. the date not the time). For example, using the example above, R would report:
08/11/2012
09/11/2012
10/11/2012
14/11/2012
