ymd | R Documentation |
Transforms dates stored in character and numeric vectors to Date or POSIXct
objects (see tz
argument). These functions recognize arbitrary
non-digit separators as well as no separator. As long as the order of
formats is correct, these functions will parse dates correctly even when the
input vectors contain differently formatted dates. See examples.

In case of heterogeneous date formats, the ymd()
family guesses formats based
on a subset of the input vector. If the input vector contains many missing
values or non-date strings, the subset might not contain meaningful dates
and the date-time format won't be guessed resulting in
All formats failed to parse
error. In such cases please see
parse_date_time()
for a more flexible parsing interface.
If the truncated
parameter is non-zero, the ymd()
functions also check for
truncated formats. For example, ymd()
with truncated = 2
will also
parse incomplete dates like 2012-06
and 2012
.
NOTE: The ymd()
family of functions is based on parse_date_time()
and thus
directly drop to the internal C parser for numeric months, but uses
base::strptime()
for alphabetic months. This implies that some of base::strptime()
's
limitations are inherited by lubridate's parser. For example, truncated
formats (like %Y-%b
) will not be parsed. Numeric truncated formats (like
%Y-%m
) are handled correctly by lubridate's C parser.
As of version 1.3.0, lubridate's parse functions no longer return a
message that displays which format they used to parse their input. You can
change this by setting the lubridate.verbose
option to TRUE
with
options(lubridate.verbose = TRUE)
.

## TRUE
dmy(010210)
mdy(010210)
yq('2014.2')
## heterogeneous formats in a single vector:
x <- c(20090101, "2009-01-02", "2009 01 03", "2009-1-4",
"2009-1, 5", "Created on 2009 1 6", "200901 !!! 07")
ymd(x)
## What lubridate might not handle:
## Extremely weird cases when one of the separators is "" and some of the
## formats are not in double digits might not be parsed correctly:
## Not run: ymd("201002-01", "201002-1", "20102-1")
dmy("0312-2010", "312-2010")
## End(Not run)
