REFORMAT YEAR VARIABLE: Converting two digit year output to four digit year output #3

Open nikzei opened 10 years ago

Can the scraper output all years in four digits rather than two? I.e., "2000," instead of "00"?

This will be useful for visualizing data by keeping all the records in chronological order (I created a scatterplot a little while ago and it ended up being full between 0-14, then empty in the middle, and *\ then full between 70 - 99. Using the full four digit numbers would have prevented this problem).

Working on this.
