1Please don't just ask us to solve the problem for you. Show us how you tried to solve the problem yourself, then show us exactly what the result was, and tell us why you think it didn't work. See ["What Have You Tried?"](https://mattgemmell.com/what-have-you-tried/) for an excellent article that you may be interested to read. Thanks. – lbarqueira Feb 04 '22 at 09:27

Very handy is the lubridate package. There it would be e.g. dmy("15081947")
.
