Hi Elise, If I create a CSV file like your example and read it into a data frame:
eldf<-read.csv("el.csv") Then convert the first field to POSIXt dates: eldf$DateTime<-strptime(eldf$DateTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") class(eldf$DateTime) [1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt" I can subset the file like this: time_after<-strptime("2017-01-09 18:00:00","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") > time_after [1] "2017-01-09 18:00:00 AEDT" > eldf[eldf$DateTime >= time_after,] DateTime RECORD PTemp PPFD_Avg Air_Temp_Avg RH_avg Soil_Temp 7 2017-01-09 18:00:00 6 21.26 -48.83 -38.49 -0.415 79 8 2017-01-09 18:15:00 7 21.21 -52.23 -39.00 -0.642 79 9 2017-01-09 18:30:00 8 21.12 -54.68 -39.41 -0.805 79 10 2017-01-09 18:45:00 9 21.04 -56.44 .39.74 -0.939 79 11 2017-01-09 19:00:00 10 20.99 -57.71 -40.01 -1.046 79 12 2017-01-09 19:15:00 11 20.91 -58.66 -40.25 -1.137 79 13 2017-01-09 19:30:00 12 21.83 -59.39 -40.46 -1.208 79 Perhaps this will do what you want. No need to apologize for your English, I could not make myself understood in French.
