Fast general purpose parser for date(time) from input data
Arguments
- x
A vector with date(time) expressions to be parsed and converted.
- formats
character vector of formats to try out (see base::strptime). If NULL, uses a set of predefined formats mostly taken from the anytime package.
- tz
assumed input timezone. If "", uses local timezone. See details
- to_tz
convert datetime to timezone given in to_tz. If "", tz is used. See details
- out_format
character. Defining the format of the returned result. Can be "datetime", "date", or "character".
Details
The internal parsing is done "timezoneless". The timezone given in tz is just added to the datetime without any conversion. If to_tz is given, a conversion is made from tz to to_tz.
