I'm trying to convert a variable that is imported from CSV into a
datetime,I'm
trying to use the strptime function but with no joy, can anyone offer any
advise?

i have a vector
timestamp
07-07-2008-21:03:55
07-07-2008-19:52:55
07-07-2008-19:54:14
07-07-2008-15:24:01
07-07-2008-13:39:17
07-07-2008-13:39:55


timestamp<-strptime(timestamp,"%d-%m-%y-%H:%M:%S")
## then filter on the datetime
time<-ifelse(timestamp> "07-08-2008-00:00:00", TRUE, FALSE)
