I'm trying to subtract 2 character vectors containing date time information in the following format:
> dput(train2)
structure(list(time2 = c("2011-09-01 23:44:52.533", "2011-09-05 12:25:37.42",
"2011-08-24 12:56:58.91", "2011-10-25 07:18:14.722", "2011-10-25 07:19:51.697"
), time3 = c("2011-09-01 23:43:59.752", "2011-09-05 12:25:01.187",
"2011-08-24 12:55:13.012", "2011-10-25 07:16:51.759", "2011-10-25 07:16:51.759"
)), .Names = c("time2", "time3"), row.names = c(NA, 5L), class = "data.frame")
I've hunted around and played with zoo
, as.Date
, as.POSIXct
, etc. to try and find the correct code to subtract 2 datetime objects and get an answer in seconds but without luck.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
