Friends I have an xts that I wish to access.
Browse[2]> DATA.ba[[p]]["2012-03-20 00:59:57","bid"] bid 2012-03-20 00:59:57 1.4993 So far so good. Now putting the index into a variable: Browse[2]> Time [1] "2012-03-20 00:59:57 NZDT" Browse[2]> DATA.ba[[p]][Time, "bid"] bid Where has it gone? Looking closer.... Browse[2]> index(DATA.ba[[p]]["2012-03-20 00:59:57","bid"]) [1] "2012-03-20 00:59:57 NZDT" Browse[2]> Browse[2]> Time [1] "2012-03-20 00:59:57 NZDT" Browse[2]> Browse[2]> index(DATA.ba[[p]]["2012-03-20 00:59:57","bid"]) == Time [1] FALSE Browse[2]> Browse[2]> class(Time) [1] "POSIXct" "POSIXt" Browse[2]> class(index(DATA.ba[[p]]["2012-03-20 00:59:57","bid"])) [1] "POSIXct" "POSIXt" So the variable 'Time' should be good to index DATA.ba[[p]]. I am hopelessly confused. cheers Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
