Hi Sam
It works for me:
ss<-Sys.time()
sss<-rep(ss,5)
ss<-Sys.time()
sss<-c(sss,ss)
> sss
[1] "2005-08-15 10:04:02 St??edn?? Evropa (letn?? ??as)" "2005-08-15
10:04:02 St??edn?? Evropa (letn?? ??as)"
[3] "2005-08-15 10:04:02 St??edn?? Evropa (letn?? ??as)" "2005-08-15
10:04:02 St??edn?? Evropa (letn?? ??as)"
[5] "2005-08-15 10:04:02 St??edn?? Evropa (letn?? ??as)" "2005-08-15
10:04:35 St??edn?? Evropa (letn?? ??as)"
# six values but only 2 different

'POSIXct', format: chr [1:6] "2005-08-15 10:04:02" "2005-08-15
10:04:02" "2005-08-15 10:04:02" "2005-08-15 10:04:02" "2005-
08-15 10:04:02" ...
# posix format as well
