See the last line on every message to r-help. You need to put together a minimal self contained example that illustrates the problem. The best I can do with the information provided is to point out that this works: > Lines <- '"","Fish_ID","Date","R2sqrt" + "1",1646,2006-08-18 08:48:59,0 + "2",1646,2006-08-18 09:53:20,100' > > library(zoo) > library(chron) > read.zoo(textConnection(Lines), header = TRUE, FUN = as.chron, + sep = ",", colClasses = c("NULL", "NULL", "character", "numeric")) (08/18/06 08:48:59) (08/18/06 09:53:20) 0 100 -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
