similar to: strptime - %p format doesn't seem to be working

I am attempting to import dates in the following format to R: 5/20/2010 6:45:32 PM Unfortunately I am unable to get the AM/PM function (%p) to work correctly under either 2.11.0 or 2.8.1. > strptime("5/20/2010 6:45:32 PM", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p") [1] NA but > strptime("5/20/2010 6:45:32", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S") [1] "2010-05-20 06:45:32"

I am getting an unanticipated result attempting to format a datetime string date1 <- strptime('2005 297 1030 35', '%Y %j %H%M %S') # returns "2005-10-24 10:12:35" date2 <- strptime('2005 297 912 35', '%Y %j %H%M %S') # returns NA Are there any ways to adjust the format argument (e.g., '%H') to accept one or two digit hours?

I read a dataset with times in them, e.g., "09:31:29.18761". I then parse them: > all$X.Time <- strptime(all$X.Time, format = "%H:%M:%OS6"); and get a vector of NAs (how do I check that except for a visual inspection?) then I do > options("digits.secs"=6); > all$X.Time <- strptime(all$X.Time, format = "%H:%M:%OS"); and it, apparently, works:

I'm not sure from reading the documentation whether strptime(x, "%j") is meant to be supported, but if so, there is a bug which prevents it from working on the first day of months after

Hi Stefano, As the help page says: "The default for the format methods is "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" if any element has a time component which is not midnight, and "%Y-%m-%d" otherwise. This is because when the result is printed, it uses the default format. If you want a specified output representation: format(strptime(init_day, format="%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M"),"%Y-%M-%d

Dear R-list users, I need to use strptime because I have to deal with date with hours and minutes. I read the manual for strptime and I also looked at many examples, but when I try to apply it to my code, I always encounter some problems. I try to change the default format, with no success. Why? How can I change the format? 1. init_day <- as.factor("2015-02-24-00-30")

Dear all I have a character vector of dates something like: timevec<-c("15.5.2003 00:00", "15.5.2003 00:01", "15.5.2003 00:02", "15.5.2003 00:03","15.5.2003 00:04") and I would like to transform it to some more convenient date class. Is there a way how to do it directly without previous reformating to ISO like structure and adding a

Dear Jim and dear Enrico, thank you for your replies. Unfortunately your hints didn't solve my problem, and I am getting mad. Can I show you my whole process? I will be as quick as possible. I start from a data frame called Snow of the form year month day hh mm hs 2007 11 19 0 0 0.00 2007 11 19 0 30 0.00 2007 11 19 1 0 0.00 2007 11 19 1 30 0.00 2007 11 19 2 0 0.00 2007 11 19 2 30 0.00 2007 11

Dear All, I am trying to convert to POSIXct after pasting a date and a time in character format with strptime. It is probably obvious but I don't understand why I get an error message after bsamp$spltime<-strptime(test,format="%d-%B-%y %H:%M") whereas I can get what I want if I do it in 2 steps and rbinding ? Thanks and best regards, Jean-Louis This is the R console output

Hi All In trying to correlate some tide gauge data I need to deal with varying timezones. From the documentation on strptime, it seemed that the tz variable might have some effect on the conversion, but I'm not seeing an effect. > strptime("20061201 1:02 PST",format="%Y%m%d %H:%M",tz="PST")+0 [1] "2006-12-01 01:02:00 EST" >

I'm using R V 2.2.1. When I try an example from the as.Date help page, I get an error. > x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") > z <- as.Date(x, "%d%b%Y") Error in strptime(x, format) : 2 arguments passed to 'strptime' which requires 3 > Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Newbie here~ I've spent a ton of time on this, but have to admit I am stuck. I've tried various combinations of strptime and the package CHRON, but still can't get there. My simple task is that I want to plot salinity (S1 or S2) on y-axis and time on x-axis, but I want to use a lay-understandable representation of time (not Julian). If I use the following command, I can make a

I'm trying to proess date/time fields from files that were given to me to analyze. Any clues what I'm doing wrong with strptime? This seems to fail the same way under Linux or Windows. For ?strptime would it make sense to explain %OS3 somewhere besides the Examples? > # Why does %OS3 work here? > format(Sys.time(), "%H:%M:%S") [1] "16:45:19" >

Hi, I am having a trouble parsing dates using strptime() that I get in the format of year and week number. The data looks like this "201127" which means year 2011 and week 27. I would like to graph this using ggplot but then I get a gap between 201054 and 201101 so I thought I would just easily convert it. I tried to use strptime and as.Date and the format string of %Y%W but it seems

[I am herewith re-posting this message on R-devel, as it seems to be the most appropriate mailing list for this issue.] Dear List, >From what I understand, strptime() simply converts from one class representation to another; i.e., from character to POSIXct/POSIXlt. One strange feature of this command running on Linux is that there are repeated calls to system time (as was revealed

Converting date strings that range between Mar-14-2010 2:00 and Mar-14-2010 2:59 (inclusive) to date objects (POSIX) returns a NA entity: > strptime("3/14/2010 2:00",format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M") [1] "2010-03-14 02:00:00" This looks fine, however other functions such as plot see a NA object instead: > is.na(strptime("3/14/2010
