It's not entirely clear where your trying to go with your problem, but one 'solution' depending on your destination could be:
time_obj<-format(as.POSIXct(test,format="%H:%M:%S"),format="%H:%M:%S") > time_obj [1] "00:49:19" > class(time_obj) [1] "character" But this is a fairly unsatisfactory solution since it simply undoes the application of as.POSIXct Perhaps you can share more of your problem so folks responding know where you're trying to get to. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Problem-with-converting-character-vector-to-time-tp4634283p4634293.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.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.
