Hi All,,

I am new to R and having a problem dealing with timestamps.

I have 2 columns in my table . Both of these have timestamps value in
format  06/22/11 05:34 PM .

If these are Date or DateTime objects you can use:

?difftime   # with attention to the units argument
?DateTimeClasses

If they are not yet in a correct class you need to first use:

?strptime

I want to calculate the difference in these 2
columns ( in minutes) and save it as a 3rd column.

When examples are provided ....
