title: R Convert Chr String to Minutes & Seconds
body: <p>I have a data set with times as strings representing minutes and seconds in the format mm:ss.s. It currently looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"00:14.3"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to convert this to times so that I can work with the data (plot etc)?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the Chron package, but this seems to require the string to be hh:mm:ss unless I've misunderstood</p>
