Extract year from date

if all your dates are the same width, you can put the dates in a vector and use substring

Date
a <- c("01/01/2009", "01/01/2010" , "01/01/2011")
substring(a,7,10) #This takes string and only keeps the characters beginning in position 7 to position 10

output

[1] "2009" "2010" "2011"
