This is new to me. Where is this format used more concretely? It's not very common I would presume, or is it?
Thank you for the response. In my case, I found that format in "Agilent-Keysight" dataloggers which are used for precision measurements in research laboratories. I don't know if that format is shared with other devices, as I have worked only with this brand.
I am inclined not to address this issue explicitly for the time being. Mostly because of the backward compatibility. If we start parsing seconds with :
it would break existing usecases where second is followed by :
for whatever reason.
I would suggest a simple workaround for now to just replace :
with .
like this:
> sub(":([^:]+)$", ".\\1", "04/10/2021 17:49:02:195")
[1] "04/10/2021 17:49:02.195"
> gsub(":", ".", "04/10/2021 17:49:02:195")
[1] "04/10/2021 17.49.02.195"
Both formats are understood by dmy_hms
.
When we will finally extract the parser from lubridate we should probably add a parameter like milisecond_secparator
to account for such cases.
Hello,
First, thank you for the great package!
I would like to suggest if it would be possible to also accept ":" as a separator for milliseconds as some devices provide it with that format.

I change the format manually easily, but maybe it would be nice to add it in a new version if the change is not very difficult to implement...
Thank you very much!
