[R] Chron format question h:m not working

[arun]

HI,

One possible way would be to use paste()
chron(times.=paste0("15:00",":00"),format=c(times="h:m:s"))
#[1] 15:00:00


#or you could use

library(lubridate)
hm("15:00")
#[1] "15H 0M 0S"
A.K.

R 2.12.2 on Scientific Linux 6.4

#works
chron(times.="15:00:00", format=c(times="h:m:s"))

#doesn't work
chron(times.="15:00", format=c(times="h:m"))

From chron Manual:
The times format can be any permutation of "h", "m", and "s" separated by any one non-special character. The default is "h:m:s".

what am I missing?

many thanks,
