title: How to convert string to date format in R
body: <p>I have a column of strings in the following format: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Wed, 6 Dec 2000 08:47:00 -0800 (PST)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I convert this into date format using lubridate or another package? I have done this before, but there was no <code>-0800 (PST)</code> at the end.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
