Thanks for the quick replies.? I have this working with a similar suggestion to what arun suggests.? I am just interested in why the option to use just h:m isn't supported.
#re: Jeff
chron(dates.="2009/05/01", times.="15:00:00", format=c(dates=c("y/m/d"), times="h:m:s"))
chron(dates.="2009/05/01", times.="15:00", format=c(dates=c("y/m/d"), times="h:m"))
same outcome.
Does updating to R 3.0.0 solve the problem?
Thanks for all of the help.
Stephen
