[R] Problem with converting character vector to time

It's not entirely clear where your trying to go with your problem, but one
'solution' depending on your destination could be:

time_obj<-format(as.POSIXct(test,format="%H:%M:%S"),format="%H:%M:%S")
> time_obj
[1] "00:49:19"
> class(time_obj)
[1] "character"

 But this is a fairly unsatisfactory solution since it simply undoes the
application of as.POSIXct
 
Perhaps you can share more of your problem so folks responding know where
you're trying to get to.
