Example code it shown below.
I think I am doing this the hard way. I'm just trying to get the full year
value from an array of dates. An example array is shown below. Right now, I'm
using a "for" loop to pull the year out of a list where the dates were split up
into their individual components.
This seems to work, but just wondering if there is an easier way.
Thanks for any insights.

HouseDates <- c("02/27/90", "02/27/91", "01/14/92", "02/28/93", "02/01/94",
"02/01/95", "02/01/96")
# ?as.Date
HouseDatesFormatted<-as.Date(HouseDates, "%m/%d/%y")
HouseDatesFormatted
HouseDatesList<-strsplit(as.character(HouseDatesFormatted), "-", fixed=TRUE)
HouseYear_array<-NULL
length_array<-length(HouseDatesList)
for(ii in 1:length_array)
{
HouseYear<-HouseDatesList[[ii]][1]
HouseYear_array<-c(HouseYear_array, HouseYear)
}
as.character(HouseYear_array)
# Desired:
# [1] "1990" "1991" "1992" "1993" "1994" "1995" "1996"
