cur_date provides a relaxed version of
Sys.time() that is sufficient for most purposes.
cur_date(rev = FALSE, as_string = TRUE, sep = "-")Boolean: Reverse from "yyyy-mm-dd" to "dd-mm-yyyy" format?
Default: rev = FALSE.
Boolean: Return as character string?
Default: as_string = TRUE.
If as_string = FALSE, a "Date" object is returned.
Character: Separator to use.
Default: sep = "-".
A character string or object of class "Date".
By default, cur_date returns Sys.Date
as a character string (using current system settings and
sep for formatting).
If as_string = FALSE, a "Date" object is returned.
Alternatively, consider using Sys.Date
or Sys.time() to obtain the "
format according to the ISO 8601 standard.
