convert_date

Convert dates in external formats (e.g. from MATLAB) to Date or POSIXct.

Utilities for handling dates and times, such
as selecting particular days of the week or month,
formatting timestamps as required by RSS feeds, or
converting timestamp representations of other software
(such as 'MATLAB' and 'Excel') to R. The package is
lightweight (no dependencies, pure R implementations) and
relies only on R's standard classes to represent dates
and times ('Date' and 'POSIXt'); it aims to provide
efficient implementations, through vectorisation and the
use of R's native numeric representations of timestamps
where possible.
