Dear all, my main problem is with miliseconds. I have an array :
library(xts) options(digits.secs = 3) > x [1] "2015-06-10 10:22:06.389 EDT" "2015-06-10 10:22:07.473 EDT" [3] "2015-06-10 10:22:08.717 EDT" "2015-06-10 10:22:09.475 EDT" > x[1] [1] "2015-06-10 10:22:06.38 EDT" > x[2] [1] "2015-06-10 10:22:07.473 EDT" why it cuts last digit of miliseconds 389 to 38 ? ( it doesn't cut 473 !! ) I try to dump it to post here: > dump("x",file=stdout()) x <- structure(c(1433946126.39, 1433946127.474, 1433946128.717, 1433946129.476 ), tzone = "", tclass = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), class = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt")) new array becomes : > x [1] "2015-06-10 10:22:06.390 EDT" "2015-06-10 10:22:07.473 EDT" [3] "2015-06-10 10:22:08.717 EDT" "2015-06-10 10:22:09.476 EDT" this time first milisecond 389 became 390 ? and last element 475 became 476 ? I do some more tests : as.POSIXct("2015-06-10 10:22:07.473",format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS') [1] "2015-06-10 10:22:07.473 EDT" is correct, but : as.POSIXct("2015-06-10 10:22:06.389",format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS') [1] "2015-06-10 10:22:06.388 EDT" why miliseconds turn to 388 instead of 389 ? or as.POSIXct("2015-06-10 10:22:07.478",format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS') [1] "2015-06-10 10:22:07.477 EDT" why it shows 477 instead of 478 > sessionInfo() R version 3.2.0 (2015-04-16) Platform: x86_64-suse-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (x86_64) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] xts_0.9-7 zoo_1.7-12 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_3.2.0 grid_3.2.0 lattice_0.20-31 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
