[R-SIG-Finance] How to merge Date and Time in a single value ?

[pierre8r-list at yahoo.fr]

Hello,

I am a newbie with R. 
I try to import stock quotes in R. 

Samples stock quotes :

date ,time ,open ,high ,low ,close ,volume
12/29/2006,00:00,1.963,1.963,1.96195,1.96195,-1
12/29/2006,00:30,1.96195,1.9624,1.96195,1.962,-1
12/29/2006,01:00,1.962,1.9622,1.9608,1.961,-1
12/29/2006,01:30,1.961,1.9619,1.96095,1.96105,-1
12/29/2006,02:00,1.96105,1.96185,1.96105,1.9617,-1
12/29/2006,02:30,1.9617,1.9624,1.9616,1.9621,-1
12/29/2006,03:00,1.9621,1.96215,1.96155,1.96175,-1
12/29/2006,03:30,1.96175,1.96205,1.9615,1.96205,-1
12/29/2006,04:00,1.96205,1.9626,1.962,1.96235,-1
12/29/2006,04:30,1.96235,1.96305,1.96215,1.96275,-1
12/29/2006,05:00,1.96275,1.96345,1.96245,1.96325,-1
12/29/2006,05:30,1.96325,1.9639,1.96325,1.96375,-1
12/29/2006,06:00,1.96375,1.9647,1.9637,1.9646,-1
12/29/2006,06:30,1.9646,1.9657,1.964,1.964,-1
12/29/2006,07:00,1.964,1.96535,1.96385,1.9651,-1


I wrote a few lines of R. 

Code:

quotes <- read.csv2("GBPUSD-30mn.txt", header = TRUE, sep = ",", dec=".")
quotes
names(quotes)


The result does not agree me.
I would like to have the date and time data in a single value. 
The goal is then to display these stock prices as a graph.

Regards,

Pierre8r
