Hello, Dan,

you could probably use a combination of nchar(), substr() (or substring()) and paste(). Take a look at their online help pages.

Hello everyone,

I have a character vector of 24 hour time values in the format hm
without the delimiting ":". How can I insert the ":" immediately to
the left of the second digit from the right?

mytimes<-scan(what="")
1457
1457
1310
1158
137
1855


Thanks!

Dan
