I have a matrix where one column has a date and another column has a time. I need to delete all times before 6am. I had combined the Date and Time column into DateTime. Mat1: Weight Date Time 7.6 04/28/11 09:03 8.4 04/29/11 03:11 8.6 04/29/11 05:32 8.6 04/29/11 09:53 1.4 05/01/11 19:52 I tried just picking up the time: as.POSIXct(Mat1$Time, format = "%H:%M") but this assigns the time value today's date. The final matrix should look like: Weight Date Time 7.6 04/28/11 09:03 8.6 04/29/11 09:53 1.4 05/01/11 19:52 ----- In theory, practice and theory are the same.
