First, the reproducable example, showing how converting from character to
POSIXct to character changes the milliseconds in the first time stamp
though not in the second:
> as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.324')
[1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.323 PDT"
> as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.325')
[1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.325 PDT"
This seems to be due to truncation of the numeric value of the POSIX
object during conversion to character:
> as.numeric(as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.324'))
[1] 1275581038.3239998817
Neither format() nor round() seem to be of assistance here. Anyone got a
solution?
> as.POSIXct(round(as.double(as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 09:03:58.324')),
digits=3), origin=(as.POSIXct('1970-01-01')))
[1] "2010-06-03 17:03:58.323 PDT"
> format(as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 09:03:58.324'), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS4")
[1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.3239"
Thanks,
