Hello everyone,

I am trying to built an xts object and i have run into some problems on the
data handling. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the
following:

1) I have a OHLC dataset with Time and date in different columns. How could
i combine date and time in one column in order to pass on the new column to
xts? I have use cbind and data.frame before but i did not manage to yield
any good results as the formating of the file changes.

Date	        Time	       O	        H	        L	        C
1/2/2005	17:05	       1.3546	1.3553	1.3546	1.35495
1/2/2005	17:10	       1.3553	1.3556	1.3549	1.35525
1/2/2005	17:15	       1.3556	1.35565	1.35515	1.3553
1/2/2005	17:25	       1.355	        1.3556	1.355	        1.3555
1/2/2005	17:30	       1.3556	1.3564	1.35535	1.3563
 
2) It is not clear to me what is the best way to construct the .xts object?
Should i use only the Date&time to index or should i also combine it with
the rest of the variables?

Thanks in advance,

N
