can hms handle milliseconds?

[randomgambit]

I am using hms to parse the time (hour, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) from timestamps in my data.
Unfortunately, I notice that hms seems to forget about the millisecond part of a time (in character format).

> as.hms("12:34:56")
12:34:56
> as.hms("12:34:56.542")
12:34:56
> options(digits.secs=3)
> as.hms("12:34:56.542")
12:34:56

Is that a bug? Having milliseconds is important because I sort the data according to time...

Thanks for reporting!

Fixed in the development version.

you re welcome!. I am an hardcore user of intraday timestamps, so im happy to report any bugs.
When are the updates expected to be on CRAN? I cannot use devtools at work (need to install from zip)

No ETA yet. Can you build a .tar.gz at home using R CMD build?

[randomgambit]

never done so. how can I do that?

[krlmlr]

Download or clone the repository from GitHub, extract, and run R CMD build . from the terminal.
