download historic earnings and earnings estimates for a given stock from http://earnings.com. One of the columns of the data.frame will be the Dates/Times of the earnings release. These Dates/Times may have one of a few different formats, most of which are ambiguous. convertEarningsTime will put the Dates/Times in an unambiguous format; it will be called if getEarnings is called with doFormatTime = TRUE.

  getEarnings(Symbol, doFormatTime = TRUE,
    return.tz = "America/Chicago",
    return.class = c("xts", "data.frame"))

  convertEarningsTime(x, date.format = "%d-%b-%y",
    default.time = "AMC", return.tz = "America/Chicago")

`Symbol`	character string ticker symbol of stock
`doFormatTime`	should the values of the Date/Time be re-formatted? (TRUE)
`return.tz`	timezone in which to represent Date/Time of earnings release. ignored if `doFormatTime` is not `TRUE`
`return.class`	can be one of “xts” or “data.frame”.
`x`	character string representing a time or date
`date.format`	format of the date
`default.time`	what time to use if `x` is only a date. “AMC” stands for After Market Close and will become “16:00:00” New York time. “BMO” stands for Before Market Open and will become “07:00:00” New York time.

If one of the earnings Date/Time values contains “BMO” or “AMC”, it will be substituted with “07:00:00” and “16:15:00”, respectively in New York time.

for getEarnings, it depends on return.class; If it is “xts”, an xts object will be returned that will only contain the numeric columns: “EPS.ESTIMATE”, “EPS.ACTUAL”, and “PREV.YEAR.ACTUAL”. If return.class is “data.frame”, a data.frame will be returned that, in addition to the columns of the xts, also contain columns “Symbol”, “PERIOD”, “EVENT.TITLE”, and “TIME”.

convertEarningsTime will return a string representing a date and time. in the format “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M%:S %Z”
