Try this:
# test data frame eh containing a factor variable t
eh <- data.frame(t = c("06/05/2005 01:15:25", "06/07/2005 01:15:25"))
# substring converts factor to character and extracts substring
chron(dates = substring(eh$t, 1, 10), times = substring(eh$t, 12))
See ?chron for more info. There is an article on dates in
R News 4/1 and although it does not specifically answer this
question it may be useful with chron and also provides a
reference to more chron info elsewhere.
