[R] Converting ordinal dates and time into sensible formats

Hello all, I am having a little trouble working with strptime and I was hoping someone might be able to give me a hand. I have an instrument that outputs an ordinal date and time in two columns something like this: day.hour min.sec 1125252050 2125182029 3125242023 4

Re: [R] Converting ordinal dates and time into sensible formats

How about something like: data$DateTime- strptime(paste(data$day.hour,data$min.sec,sep= ),format=%j%H %M%S) data$Date - strftime(data$DateTime,format=%Y-%m-%d) data$Time - strftime(data$DateTime,format=%H:%M:%S) data day.hour min.secDateTime Date Time 112517
