Filter the eBird data by last edited date

Define a filter for the eBird Basic Dataset (EBD) based on a range of last edited dates. Last edited date is typically used to extract just new or recently edited data. 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.

Usage

auk_last_edited(x, date)

Arguments

x

auk_ebd or auk_sampling object; reference to file created by auk_ebd() or auk_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.

Value

An auk_ebd object.

Details

This function can also work with on an auk_sampling object if the user only wishes to filter the sampling event data.
