convert one digit numbers to two digits one
(Assuming I understand) tons of ways of doing this. So I'll just point out the ?nchar function, which you can use to count characters in your tail end and paste a "0" if there's only one, e.g. via ifelse() . -- Bert

Hi all,
the following returns the hour and the minutes
paste(DataSet$TimeStamps[selectedInterval$start,4], DataSet$TimeStamps[selectedInterval$start,5],sep=":")
[1] "12:3"
the problem is that from these two I want to create a time stamp so 12:03. The problem is that the number 3 is not converted to 03. Is there an easy way when I have one digit integer to add a zero in the front? Two digits integers are working fine so far, 12:19, or 12:45 would appear correctly
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
Regards
Alex
