time difference (from date function)
2 messages · milton ruser, jim holtman
If what you have is a character string, then convert it to POSIXlt and use difftime:
x1
[1] "Wed Mar 18 12:18:11 2009"
x2
[1] "Wed Mar 18 12:18:18 2009"
x1.c <- strptime(x1, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y") x2.c <- strptime(x2, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y") difftime(x2.c, x1.c, units='secs')
Time difference of 7 secs

Dear all, I have two variables which contents are date() function answers, like: d1<-date() d2<-date() Now I need to compute the difference between d2 and d1 (in minutes). Any help are welcome. Best wishes miltinho brazil ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]]
