R code of this video:

x1 <- "2025-10-22 07:32:59" # Create example date & time
x1 # Print example date & time

class(x1) # Check class of data object

x1_POSIX <- as.POSIXlt(x1) # Convert class to POSIXlt
x1_POSIX # Print POSIXlt object

class(x1_POSIX) # Check class of data object

x2 <- "22-10-2025 07:32" # Create example date & time
x2 # Print example date & time

x2a_POSIX <- as.POSIXlt(x2) # as.POSIXlt without specific format
x2a_POSIX # Wrong output

x2b_POSIX <- as.POSIXlt(x2, # Specify format argument properly
format = "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M")
x2b_POSIX # Correct output

Is there a function that straight convert hh:mm from string into time format? Means don’t want the date to be included
