Conversion of '2013-05-22 02:00pm' to '2013-05-22 14:00' in R

Question

I want to convert the following format into a standard date format in R:

2013-05-22 02:00pm

to

2013-05-22 14:00

I've tried using strptime, but it outputs 2013-05-22 02:00 MST, which would mean 2AM. How do I fix this?

`"%h"` is the "Abbreviated month name in the current locale." Please read the documentation more carefully. — Joshua Ulrich, Aug 14 '14 at 17:36

?strptime says you must use "%I" (not "%H") with "%p".

> strptime('2013-05-22 02:00pm', tz="UTC", format="%Y-%m-%d %I:%M%p")
[1] "2013-05-22 14:00:00 UTC"
