Details

Used in parsing headers, this function is built on the standard as.POSIXlt function. the only difference is that this also recognizes dates of forms such as "Aug 23 2002", "August 23 2002", "2002 Aug 23", and "2002 23 Aug". (The month may appear in abbreviated form or written in full, and may be capitalized or not.)
