I'm not sure that I understand your problem but if you want the vector in character rather than numeric try:
library(Hmisc) library(Hmisc) time.date<- Cs(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) --- On Thu, 8/13/09, stephen sefick <ssef...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: stephen sefick <ssef...@gmail.com> > Subject: [R] split number in a vector and then make a chron object out of it > To: r-help@r-project.org > Received: Thursday, August 13, 2009, 12:59 PM > These are date and times in the > format YYYYMMDDhhmmss.
