sorry, i let toto$Date in the function within lapply() instead of x$Date !
now, it works :
> toto
Num Date Place X Y
1 1 1/1/04 0:48 x1 1 1
2 2 1/1/04 8:02 x1 NA NA
3 4 1/1/04 1:55 x4 3 7
4 3 1/1/04 2:14 x3 2 9
5 4 1/1/04 1:19 x4 3 7
6 4 1/1/04 1:02 x4 3 7
7 5 1/1/04 11:15 x5 6 8
8 5 1/1/04 9:06 x5 6 8
9 5 1/1/04 10:32 x5 6 8
> toto <- do.call("rbind", lapply(split(toto, toto$Num),
+ function(x) x[which.min(as.POSIXct(strptime(x$Date, "%d/%m/%y
%H:%M"))),]))
> toto
Num Date Place X Y
1 1 1/1/04 0:48 x1 1 1
2 2 1/1/04 8:02 x1 NA NA
3 3 1/1/04 2:14 x3 2 9
4 4 1/1/04 1:02 x4 3 7
5 5 1/1/04 9:06 x5 6 8
> toto <- merge(toto[1:3], unique(na.omit(toto[3:5])),by="Place",all.x=T)
> toto
Place Num Date X Y
1 x1 1 1/1/04 0:48 1 1
2 x1 2 1/1/04 8:02 1 1
3 x3 3 1/1/04 2:14 2 9
4 x4 4 1/1/04 1:02 3 7
5 x5 5 1/1/04 9:06 6 8
