Hello, I am a very new user of R. I've spent several hours trying to import data, so I feel okay asking the list for help.

(R 1.9.1; Windows 2000;) I'm just comparing ease of use, speed, etc for methods of transferring data frames in the Excel, MySQL, R triangle. It turns out that going from Excel to R (when doing this carefully). Using the clipboard is actually quite fast and efficient (2 seconds for transferring 120 000 cells on a common desktop computer as compared to much longer for going the RODBC route,

Dear List, I am having a problem using gsub to remove dates from a date/time string. For example: x<-c("5/31/2009 12:34:00","6/1/2009 1:14:00") I would like to remove the date and have just the time.
