Hello, I have strings with date-/time-data from a logfile. For a sort-by-time (and other time-related analysis) I need something to convert the times to the Unix-epoche-time (better also with parts of seconds). Is there something that does that job (or a similar conversion) in R? TIA, Oliver Bandel
From time-strings to Unix-Epoche-time?

If you are using POSIXct, just 'unclass' the value:
x <- as.POSIXct('2008-09-12 09:00')
str(x)
POSIXct[1:1], format: "2008-09-12 09:00:00"
unclass(x)

as.numeric, unsurprisingly, for class "POSIXct" (and as.POSIXct if needed ...). It can be to sub-second accuracy (use %OS to read such fields).
