Hi, Thanks for making such an amazing package! I seem to be having problems with the linking step. I get the following error;

metadata <- link_dam_metadata(metadata, result_dir = DATA_DIR) _Warning: 1 parsing failure. row col expected actual 1 -- date like 12-03-2019 15:51:00

Error: 1 parsing failure_

I know a similar post (2017) was made, however the issue with that was the date/time wasn't formatted as required and I cannot work out what is wrong to save my life!

Any thoughts would be really really appreciated, thank you so much!

Here's the code (I've created my own metadata file);

rm(list=ls())

library(damr) library(zeitgebr) library(ggetho) library(behavr) library(data.table)

DATA_DIR <- "C:\Users\jlhc\Documents\R\fitboks" list.files(DATA_DIR, pattern= ".txt|.csv") setwd(DATA_DIR)

metadata <- fread("metadata.csv") metadata

metadata <- link_dam_metadata(metadata, result_dir = DATA_DIR) metadata
