Here is another way, not necessarily better.

Since you didn't provide any column names, let df$tm refer to the column of times, which I will assume is a vector of character strings.

## as a one-liner, results in a character object (the '2004-5-1' is arbitrary, use any valid date)
minute <- format(as.POSIXct(paste('2004-5-1',df$tm,sep='-')),'%M')


## in multiple lines, making it possible to plot the data with an axis having an accurate time scale
tm <- as.POSIXct(paste('2004-5-1',df$tm,sep='-'))


## as above, minute is a character object
minute <- format(tm,'%M')

## or this way, minute is a POSIXt object, also suitable for use with a time-scaled plot
minute <- trunc(tm,'mins')

Hi!
I would extract the minutes from the time using sub (see ?sub) or (?grep)
than use them as factors (?as.factors)
and finally
?tapply

eg.
tt<-1:10
 fac<-c(rep(0,4),rep(1,6)) # here put the minutes from the time
fac
 [1] 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1
fac<-as.factor(fac)
fac
 [1] 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1
Levels: 0 1

tapply(t,fac,max)
 0  1
 4 10

Sincerely Eryk.

Hi, i need select data from data frame, for example:
x is a data frame with values in jump to 5 seconds
12:10:00 51 //one minute
12:10:05 63
12:10:10 75
12:10:15 88
..
12:10:59 45
12:11:00 46 //another minute
12:11:05 11
..
Have a command what to select the data minute to  minute, for example
in the example above i need the maximun values minute to  minute
1� minute-->88
