Dear List,
I am having a problem using gsub to remove dates from a date/time string.
For example:
x<-c("5/31/2009 12:34:00","6/1/2009 1:14:00")
I would like to remove the date and have just the time.
I have tried:
gsub("[0-9+]/[0-9+]/[0-9+]","",x)
and various versions. I think my problem is that the / is a special character and is telling it something that I don't mean. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed.
Thanks,
Tim
