stri_datetime_fstr: -Style Format Strings¶

Description¶

This function converts strptime or strftime-style format strings to ICU format strings that may be used in stri_datetime_parse and stri_datetime_format functions.

Usage¶

stri_datetime_fstr(x, ignore_special = TRUE)

Arguments¶


`x`	character vector of date/time format strings
`ignore_special`	if `FALSE`, special identifiers like `"datetime_full"` or `date_relative_short` (see `stri_datetime_format`) are left as-is

Details¶

For more details on conversion specifiers please refer to the manual page of strptime. Most of the formatters of the form %x, where x is a letter, are supported. Moreover, each %% is replaced with %.

Warnings are given in the case of %x, %X, %u, %w, %g, %G, %c, %U, and %W as in such circumstances either ICU does not support the functionality requested using the string format API or there are some inconsistencies between base R and ICU.

Value¶

Returns a character vector.
