[R] R difftime function: How can we fix the difftime unit?
Hi, I am trying to take difference of two time objects. I want to fix the result's unit to minutes. How can I do that? Here is an example: difftime(x, y) Time difference of 2.030720 hours difftime(x, z) Time difference of 30.34672 mins where x = '2007-03-05 08:32:58' y = '2007-03-05 06:31:07' andz = '2007-03-05 08:02:37' How can I get answer something like for (x-y) Time difference of 121.8432 mins and for (x-z) Time difference of 30.34672 mins Kindly help. -- Thanks Regards Sarthi M.

That's easy: difftime(x, y, units = min) Best regards Frede Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] på vegne af d. sarthi maheshwari Sendt: to 22-03-2007 07:03 Til: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch Emne: [R] R difftime function: How can we fix the difftime unit?

See ?difftime and take note of the 'units' argument: difftime(x, y, units = mins) Time difference of 121.85 mins difftime(x, z, units = mins) Time difference of 30.35 mins HTH, Marc Schwartz __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
