No need for a function; you can just write the expression yourself: > x <- read.table(textConnection(" 32 31.85 + 59 48.74 + 34 05.7 + 58 50.79 + 34 05.7 + 58 50.79 + 34 05.7 + 58 50.79")) > closeAllConnections() > x V1 V2 1 32 31.85 2 59 48.74 3 34 5.70 4 58 50.79 5 34 5.70 6 58 50.79 7 34 5.70 8 58 50.79 > # convert > x$V1 + x$V2 / 60 [1] 32.53083 59.81233 34.09500 58.84650 34.09500 58.84650 34.09500 58.84650 >
