I'm a rookie with R and am looking to remove the timestamp from a date/time
field from Salesforce data. These dates are in the following format "2019-09-06T07:44:59.9999997904524"
and I need to remove everything after and including the T, then convert to mm/dd/yyyy
format. How would I accomplish this?
It would probably be better to parse the date and format as desired
format(as.Date("2019-09-06T07:44:59.9999997904524"), "%m/%d/%Y")
#OR
format(lubridate::ymd_hms( "2019-09-06T07:44:59.9999997904524"), "%m/%d/%Y")
#[1] "09/06/2019"
If we need a regex solution, capture as a group and then rearrange the backreferences
sub("(.{4})-(.{2})-(.{2}).*", "\\2/\\3/\\1", v1)
#[1] "09/06/2019"
Or using anytime
library(anytime)
format(anytime(v1), "%m/%d/%Y")
#[1] "09/06/2019"
or in base R
format(as.Date(v1), "%m/%d/%Y")
v1 <- "2019-09-06T07:44:59.9999997904524"
