class_methods: Basic vector methods for 'mdate' objects

In messydates: A Flexible Class for Messy Dates

Basic vector methods for mdate objects

Description

These methods let mdate vectors behave like ordinary character vectors for subsetting, replacement, concatenation, and repetition, while ensuring the result remains a validated mdate object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
x[..., drop = TRUE]

## S3 replacement method for class 'mdate'
x[i, ...] <- value

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
x[[...]]

## S3 replacement method for class 'mdate'
x[[i, ...]] <- value

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
c(...)

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
rep(x, ...)

Arguments

x	An mdate object.
drop	Included for consistency with the default [ method; has no effect since mdate objects are always vectors.
i, ...	Index or indices, as for the default methods; for c(), one or more objects to concatenate (coerced to mdate first).
value	A replacement value, coerced to mdate and validated before assignment.

Value

An mdate object, except for c(), which returns the (unclassed) result when called on a single object.

Examples

d <- as_messydate(c("2012-01-01", "2012-02-01", "2012-03-01"))
d[2]
d[2] <- "2012-02-02"
c(d, as_messydate("2012-04-01"))
rep(d, 2)
