Extract Month from Year List Object

Source: R/month_tools.R

This function extracts a given month from a list containing 12 tibbles - one per month - for additional data cleaning prior to collapsing the list. Since months are ordered alphabetically in the year list objects, this function makes the process of extracting a particular month more intuitive.

month

A string name or abbreviation of a month, or its numeric value. Acceptable inputs include, for example, "January", "january", "Jan", "jan", and 1.
