In jamisoncrawford/panthr: Streamlining Preprocessing Tasks with GSU Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

date_month_year converts date field values in DD-MMM-YY format to full-length or abbreviated month names and 4-digit years in YYYY format.

1	date_month_year(date, sep = " ", abbreviate = FALSE)

`date`	A scalar or vector of length n and class character containing one or more date values in `DD-MMM-YY` format.
`sep`	A single, quoted string of class character specifying which punctuation, characters, or metacharacters are used to separate month and year. Defaults to a single space, or `sep = " "`.
`abbreviate`	A logical value (i.e. `TRUE` or `FALSE`) indicating whether to convert months to an abbreviated, 3-character format, e.g. "Aug." Defaults to `FALSE`.

Because the warehouse year format is YY, dates prior to 1930 C.E. will automatically convert to post-2000 C.E.

Values passed to argument date = which are not in DD-MMM-YY format or contain unrecognized month abbreviations are coerced to NA (missing) values and a warning message is thrown.

A scalar or vector of values of class character containing full-length or abbreviated month names, as well as a 4-digit year in YYYY format, separated per user-specified delimiters.
