You could find more direction on the r-help list .. I remember using
help from that list
You can do something like this. (Code pasted from my routine)
f2 - function(d, t, format = %Y%m%d %H:%M:%S) {
as.POSIXct(strptime(paste(d, t),format=format))
}
require(zoo)
optData.z - read.zoo(optData.df.1[c(1:2,5:11)],index=list(1,2), FUN=f2)
The index columns refer to the date and time in your dataset.
zoo objects can be converted to xts using as.xts
I think you should be able to create xts directly using a similar approach

Hi R users:
I have a high frequency dataset with the following two time indexes: TDATE
and TTIME. I would like to read in the following series in the specific data
format: -mm-dd and hh-mm, and convert them as xts objects. Could any
people can share some advice in this regard?
Many thanks.
