Hello all: I have a column of times in format
x "16:30:00" "16:30:03" "16:59:00" etc which I need to convert into time variables and do some operations on. I do the command y<-strptime(x,"%H:%M:%S"). This executes almost istantly (for a column x of length 1000 in Windows, but in Unix, where I run my production jobs, this takes over 4 minutes. I know that generally my Unix box is much more powerfull than my Win machine, and R runs generally faster on Unix, but this particular command is very very slow. Why is that? How can I speed that up without having to parse the strings by hand? Thank you very much, Vlad. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
