R help - Oct 2017 - convertTime package.

To whom it might concern.  I am working on a project that needs the convertTime
function. I am currently using version 3.4.1 and it says not available for the
version.  Two questions is there a work around for the function or is there
another package that contains that functions.


Thanks, 


Scott Anderwald

Hi Scott,

Where did you get this function originally? I can't find anything about it.

What OS are you using?

What says, "not available for the version"? Where are you getting that
error?

What are you trying to accomplish? What does that function actually
do? It's impossible to suggest a work-around for a function of unknown
purpose and origin.

(The posting guide for this list suggests you include all of that
information when you inquire.)

If you need a function (e.g. convertTime ) from a package (unknown?) then
you cannot simply instruct R to install the function.
e.g. if you give the command
> install.packages("convertTime")
you will get an error message like
"package 'convertTime' is not available (for R version 3.4.1)"

I did a Google search and found a package called SGP that has a function
"convertTime". I have no idea if it is the function you are looking
for but
installing that package worked fine in R version 3.4.1.  So you can try
> install.packages("SGP")
HTH,
Eric
