R tick data : merging date and time into a single object

Viewed 64721

I'm currently working in tick data with R and I would like to merge date and time into a single object as I need to get a precise time object to compute some statistics on my data. Here is how my data looks like:

               date       time      price flag    exchange
2   XXH10   2010-02-02   08:00:03   2787 1824        E
3   XXH10   2010-02-02   08:00:04   2786    3        E
4   XXH10   2010-02-02   08:00:04   2787    6        E
5   XXH10   2010-02-02   08:00:04   2787    1        E
6   XXH10   2010-02-02   08:00:04   2787    1        E

Basically, I would like to merge the columns "date" and "time" into a single one.
