Handling of dates by parse_date() in the presence of empty strings #10

Closed plogacev closed 9 years ago

plogacev commented 9 years ago

It appears that parse_date runs into problems when empty strings are present in the input vector. For example, the third date here is not recognized properly:

dates <- c("", "2014-10-29", "2012-12-05") parse_date(dates) [1] NA "2014-10-29 UTC" "2014-10-29 UTC"

I am using parsedate_1.1.1 on R 3.2.0 (platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, 64-bit) using Ubuntu 15.04.

Hmmm, the GitHub version does not seem to have this issue.

I just reinstalled from github and can confirm that the issue does not seem to occur anymore.

OK. Thanks! I'll submit a release to CRAN soon.
