These are date and times in the format YYYYMMDDhhmmss. I would like to take this column and make a chron object form them. I have tried a couple of the split family of functions but they need character input
here is the data: date.time <- c(19851001001500, 19851001003000, 19851001004500, 19851001010000, 19851001011500, 19851001013000, 19851001014500, 19851001020000, 19851001021500, 19851001023000, 19851001024500, 19851001030000, 19851001031500, 19851001033000, 19851001034500, 19851001040000, 19851001041500, 19851001043000, 19851001044500, 19851001050000, 19851001051500, 19851001053000, 19851001054500, 19851001060000, 19851001061500, 19851001063000, 19851001064500, 19851001070000, 19851001071500, 19851001073000) thanks for the help, -- Stephen Sefick Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the annoying little problems of being mammals. -K.
