Extracting year from date time variable

I have some date/times in a variable where I would only like to extract the year.

Here is an example:

2/10/21 6:55

I would only like to extract ‘2021’ from this.

By the way, the class for this variable is ‘character’.

> class(df$DTS)
[1] "character"

>Solution :

library(lubridate)
"2/10/21 6:55" |> mdy_hm() |> year()
# [1] 2021
