Bearing Peter's warning in mind, the {anytime} package can be useful in this
example:
library(anytime)
DFX$dnew <- anydate(DFX$ddate)
DFX
# First three strings are ambiguous
# Also, string 5 is only OK if its assumed to be the same format as
strings 4 & 6.
# Can add a specific format to those anytime() uses:
getFormats()
addFormats(c("%d-%m-%y"))
DFX$dnew <- anydate(DFX$ddate)
DFX
