[R] Create Time Lists with a for loop

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Instead of string manipulation you should think of POSIXt objects. And 
maybe ?seq.POSIXt will help.


first <- strptime("2011-10-12 10:59:00","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
last <- strptime("2011-10-12 11:13:00","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

seq(first, last, by = "5 min")


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
