[R] Interpret List Label as Date from Quantmod getOptionChain
Hi R Helpers,
Is it possible to interpret the top level of the list as a date after
downloading all the option chain data for a ticker?
For example, after I run
aapl_total<-getOptionChain("AAPL", NULL)
the top descriptor of the lists is a date (Mar.09.2018, Mar.23.2018, etc.).
So if want to subset down to those parts of the list that correspond to say,
(expiration) year=2019; or say, Mar or Apr or May of 2019, is this possible?
Guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Package? The **names** of the top levels of your lists, "Mar.09.2018", "Mar.23.2018" certainly look like dates and if they are -- I have no idea what package/context is -- they certainly could be formatted as such. See e.g. "date-time" . There are also several package that provide date tools.

[R] Interpret List Label as Date from Quantmod getOptionChain
Package? Quantmod. In the subject line.
I agree that they look like dates, I don't know how to determine if they are
actually dates.
Josh Ulrich usually answers questions along these lines very informatively and
quickly. One reasonable course of action is to wait to see if he does the same
with this one.
