When I load data from a CSV file into R I receive the following data frame
dd <- data.frame(year = as.integer(c(2007,2007)),
doy = as.integer(c(156,156)),
HHMM = as.integer(c(1200,1200)),
var = as.numeric(c(11.2,11.2)))
dd[,1] <- as.character(dd[,1])
dd[,2] <- as.character(dd[,2])
dd[,3] <- as.character(dd[,3])
where the first three columns are integers and the last column is numeric. I would like to convert the year, day of year, and HHMM values into one dateTime value, is that possible? The final format I am trying to get is YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM.
I can combine the year and day of year, but cannot include the HHM e.g.
strptime(paste(dd[,1], dd[,2],dd[,3]), format="%Y %j %HM")
NA NA
How can this be done?
