# R: Midnight Standard

midnightStandard {timeDate} | R Documentation

## Midnight Standard

### Description

Corrects 'timeDate' objects if they do not fulfill the ISO8601 midnight standard.

`midnightStandard2()` relies on `strptime` wherever possible, and there simply returns `as.POSIXct(strptime(charvec, format, tz = "GMT"))`.

### Usage

    midnightStandard (charvec, format)
    midnightStandard2(charvec, format)

### Arguments

`charvec` | a character string or vector of dates and times.
`format` | a string, the format specification of the input character vector.

### Value

`midnightStandard` returns a `character` and `midnightStandard2` a `POSIXct` object.

### Examples

       ch <- "2007-12-31 24:00"
       midnightStandard(ch)
       (ms2 <- midnightStandard2(ch))
       class(ms2)
