I’m trying to import a CSV file that has a date column with a string entry say “2001m1” for January 2001, so that the delimiter is the letter “m”. Using the Dates package (and DataFrames), I’m trying to translate this column to a common date format. Documentation in Dates · The Julia Language states…

Dates package: "m" delimiter via \m produces escape sequence error

julia> Date("2001m1", "y\\mm")
2001-01-01

julia> Date("2001m1", dateformat"y\mm")
2001-01-01
