[R] R and read.irts

[Gabor Grothendieck]

I guess we are posting at the same time since I got this after
I posted a prior reply.  Anyways, try this and also review the
R News article I mentioned previously as well as the zoo vignette
[i.e. library(zoo); vignette("zoo") ]

library(zoo)
library(chron)
z <- read.zoo(myfile, FUN = times, sep = ",", col.names = letters[1:3])
plot(z)
