R xts object subseting xts object with multiple da

Question

Is there a way in xts object to do the same as below but for xts object with multiple days of intraday data? The below works like a clock but for one day of data. If I pass xts from 22nd to 26th it does not. It seems like subseting intraday data in xts across multiple days is not possible to be done in one go but rather need to first split data per each day and then use this xts functionality. Is this correct?

indexTZ(tdata) = "GMT"
plotdata= tdata['20110822 10:00:00/20110822 12:00:00']

> plotdata= tdata['10:00:00/12:00:00'] works like swiss clock

Answer 1

xts has time-of-day subsetting: xts tick data rolling subset

tdata['T10:00:00/T12:00:00'] should do.
