Parse Dates With Year and Quarter Components

Usage

yq(x, quiet = FALSE)

qy(x, quiet = FALSE)

ym(x, quiet = FALSE)

my(x, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

x

a character vector

quiet

a logical scalar. If TRUE warnings on parsing failures are suppressed.

Value

a date_yq or date_ym vector

Examples

yq("2018 1")
qy("1st Quarter 2019")

#' # Works even for filenames, as long as they contain no additional numbers
yq("business_report-2018_1.pdf")
my("business_report-082018.pdf")
