That's easy:
 
difftime(x, y, units = "min")
 
Best regards

Hi,

I am trying to take difference of two time objects. I want to fix the
result's unit to minutes. How can I do that?

Here is an example:

> difftime(x, y)
Time difference of 2.030720 hours
> difftime(x, z)
Time difference of 30.34672 mins

where x = '2007-03-05 08:32:58'
          y = '2007-03-05 06:31:07'
and    z = '2007-03-05 08:02:37'

How can I get answer something like

for (x-y)
Time difference of 121.8432 mins

and for (x-z)
Time difference of 30.34672 mins

Kindly help.

Thanks & Regards
