Hi,
Petr is right. Apparently as.POSIXct drops the smallest increments if
all are zero:

That's not as.POSIXct doing anything: there's no way to drop increments, the POSIXct format records a number of seconds and that can't be changed.

What is happening is simply the default formatting.

Be explicit about the format if you want to see the seconds, e.g.

> format(ssdf$data_POSIX, format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
[1] "2002-11-01 00:00:00" "2002-11-01 00:00:00"

ssdf<-read.csv(text="data_POSIX,Sensor_code,value
2002-11-01 00:00:01,1694,7.2
2002-11-01 00:00:00,1723,10.8",
stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
ssdf$data_POSIX<-as.POSIXct(ssdf$data_POSIX,"%Y-%m-%d HH:MM:SS")
ssdf

            data_POSIX Sensor_code value
1 2002-11-01 00:00:01        1694   7.2
2 2002-11-01 00:00:00        1723  10.8

but if there is a single small increment, they all show up.

Hi

You probably has zero hours in all your data

see
temp
            data_POSIX Sensor_code value
1 2002-11-01 00:00:00        1694   7.2
2 2002-11-01 00:00:00        1723  10.8

without hours
as.POSIXct(temp$data_POSIX, format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", tz="Etc/GMT-1")
[1] "2002-11-01 +01" "2002-11-01 +01"

add value to hours
fix(temp)
temp
            data_POSIX Sensor_code value
1 2002-11-01 00:01:00        1694   7.2
2 2002-11-01 00:00:00        1723  10.8

Voila, hours are back.
as.POSIXct(temp$data_POSIX, format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", tz="Etc/GMT-1")
[1] "2002-11-01 00:01:00 +01" "2002-11-01 00:00:00 +01"

So nothing wrong in uyour code, hours are there but they are probably not 
printed to console and hours are there but hidden.

Cheers
Petr

Subject: [R] converting to POSIXct

Dear R-list users,
I thought I was able to manage easily POSIXct, but this is not true.
I am not going to load the input txt file because I know that attachments are
not allowed. The structure of my input txt file is

data_POSIX,Sensor_code,value
2002-11-01 00:00:00,1694,7.2
2002-11-01 00:00:00,1723,10.8
...

I load it with
myfile <- read.table(file="mypath/myfile.txt", header = TRUE, sep=",", dec =
".", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

When I try to convert the data_POSIX column (which is a character) to
POSIXct with

myfile$data_POSIX <- as.POSIXct(myfile$data_POSIX, format = "%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S", tz="Etc/GMT-1")

the outupt is

2002-11-01 1694 7.2
2002-11-01 1723 10.8
...

Why I keep loosing hours, minutes and seconds? Wher eis my mistake or my
misunderstanding?

Sorry again if I have not been able to reproduce the R code, and thank you
for your support.
Stefano
