Hi, I have a dataframe column of the form v<-c("Fri Feb 05 20:00:01.43000 2010","Fri Feb 05 20:00:02.274000 2010","Fri Feb 05 20:00:02.274000 2010","Fri Feb 05 20:00:06.34000 2010")
I need to convert this to datetime form. I did the following.. lapply(v,function(x){strptime(x, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%OS %Y")}) This gives me a list that looks like this... [[1]] [1] "2010-02-05 20:00:01.43" [[2]] [1] "2010-02-05 20:00:02.274" [[3]] [1] "2010-02-05 20:00:02.274" [[4]] [1] "2010-02-05 20:00:06.34" However, when I do an unlist...I gets converted to something like this... sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst sec 1.430 0.000 20.000 5.000 1.000 110.000 5.000 35.000 0.000 2.274 0.000 20.000 5.000 1.000 110.000 5.000 35.000 0.000 2.274 min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0.000 20.000 5.000 1.000 110.000 5.000 35.000 0.000 6.340 0.000 20.000 5.000 1.000 110.000 5.000 I want it to become a dataframe column except for a change in the datatype to datetime...how can I achieve this?
