Remove seconds from time in R

Question

I am trying to remove the seconds from a column of hours in POSIXct format:

#\"2016-04-02 10:33:45 COT\" \"2016-04-02 22:19:24 COT\"
#\"2016-04-09 17:47:13 C         


        

Answer 1

This is what you have:

x <- structure(c(1459589625, 1459631964, 1460220433, 1460562983),
     class = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = "")

This is what you want:

x <- format(as.POSIXct(x), "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M")
x

[1] "02-04-2016 15:03" "03-04-2016 02:49" "09-04-2016 22:17" "13-04-2016 21:26"
