HI Stephen,
I am using R 3.0.0. The responses in an old thread (http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/times-td3016621.html), suggests some solutions, but not the one you are looking for. A.K. sessionInfo() R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_CA.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_CA.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=C LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] plyr_1.8 lubridate_1.2.0 chron_2.3-43 stringr_0.6.2 [5] reshape2_1.2.2 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] digest_0.6.3 memoise_0.1 tools_3.0.0 ________________________________ From: stephen sefick <sas0...@auburn.edu> To: arun <smartpink...@yahoo.com> Cc: R help <r-help@r-project.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 1:55 PM Subject: Re: [R] Chron format question h:m not working Thanks for the quick replies. I have this working with a similar suggestion to what arun suggests. I am just interested in why the option to use just h:m isn't supported. #re: Jeff chron(dates.="2009/05/01", times.="15:00:00", format=c(dates=c("y/m/d"), times="h:m:s")) chron(dates.="2009/05/01", times.="15:00", format=c(dates=c("y/m/d"), times="h:m")) same outcome. Does updating to R 3.0.0 solve the problem? Thanks for all of the help.
