Reshape format of all dates (full and partial)

Re-arranges full and partial dates in the general form of "MM/DD/YYYY" to the ISO 8601 format ("YYYY-MM-DD"). This function is appropriate for vectors with mixed full and partial dates because it will not convert the partial dates to NA which would occur if you used as.Date("02/UN/2017", format = "%m/%d/%Y").

Usage

reshape_adates(dates)

Arguments

dates

a character vector of full and/or partial dates

Value

a character vector of full and/or partial dates in the format "YYYY-MM-DD"

Details

The date component separator in the input vector dates can be any character.
