Hi everyone, I am familiar with using the chron package to work with date/time values, but what about just time values with no date info present? What is the best tool to convert character values to time values when no date info is present? Thanks! Dan

The "times" class in the chron package handles times.
library(chron) times(.5)
[1] 12:00:00
times(.5) + times("01:00:00")
[1] 13:00:00
times("01:00:00") + 1
Time in days: [1] 1.041667
