Define a filter for the eBird Basic Dataset (EBD) based on a range of dates.
This function only defines the filter and, once all filters have been
defined, auk_filter() should be used to call AWK and perform the
filtering.
Arguments
- x
auk_ebdorauk_samplingobject; reference to file created byauk_ebd()orauk_sampling().- date
character or date; date range to filter by, provided either as a character vector in the format
"2015-12-31"or a vector of Date objects. To filter on a range of dates, regardless of year, use"*"in place of the year.
Details
To select observations from a range of dates, regardless of year,
the wildcard "*" can be used in place of the year. For example, using
date = c("*-05-01", "*-06-30") will return observations from May and June
of any year. When using wildcards, dates can wrap around the year end.
This function can also work with on an auk_sampling object if the user only
wishes to filter the sampling event data.
