Formatting Date/Time in R

Question

Using R, how do I transform the date and time from here, into a "standard" date/time string format?

2020-12-30T03:32:30.000Z

Answer 1

Use ?strptime

strptime("2020-12-30T03:32:30.000Z", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
# [1] "2020-12-30 03:32:30 CET"

Answer 2

You can also use:

#Code
as.POSIXct(gsub('T|Z',' ','2020-12-30T03:32:30.000Z'),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%OS')

Output:

[1] "2020-12-30 03:32:30 GMT"
