Hey All, I want to standardize my timestamp which is formatted as hh:mm:ss My data looks like this: Date Time 01/01/2013 00:09:01 01/02/2013 00:10:14 01/03/2013 00:11:27 01/04/2013 00:12:40 01/05/2013 00:13:53 01/06/2013 00:15:06 01/07/2013 00:16:19 01/08/2013 00:17:32 01/09/2013 00:18:45 01/10/2013 00:19:58 Dataset <- structure(list(Date = c("01/01/2013", "01/02/2013", "01/03/2013", "01/04/2013", "01/05/2013", "01/06/2013", "01/07/2013", "01/08/2013", "01/09/2013", "01/10/2013"), Time = c("00:09:01", "00:10:14", "00:11:27", "00:12:40", "00:13:53", "00:15:06", "00:16:19", "00:17:32", "00:18:45", "00:19:58")), .Names = c("Date", "Time"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -10L)) I would like to change all the records in "Time" column uniformed as hh:mm:00, then the output would be this: Date Time 01/01/2013 00:09:00 01/02/2013 00:10:00 01/03/2013 00:11:00 01/04/2013 00:12:00 01/05/2013 00:13:00 01/06/2013 00:15:00 01/07/2013 00:16:00 01/08/2013 00:17:00 01/09/2013 00:18:00 01/10/2013 00:19:00 Thanks for your help! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
