can.posix: can.posix

In decisionpatterns/date.reader: This packages extends type.convert and read.table to automatically detect and coerce date fields to POSIX.

Description

can.posix

Usage

can.posix(x, nTrials = min(length(x), 100), nErrors = 0)

Arguments

x	character; values to parse
nTrials	integer; number of strings to check before deciding the format
nErrors	integer; the number of unparsable strings to allow. If the number of unparseable strings exceeds nErrors, return NA, which means that the strings are either not dates, or not a consistent format.
