I may have misunderstood your question.
vec1 <- seq(as.POSIXct("2009-01-01 00:00:00",format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),by=
'12 hour', length=12)
vec1[1:3] #returns with time zone
#[1] "2009-01-01 00:00:00 EST" "2009-01-01 12:00:00 EST"
#[3] "2009-01-02 00:00:00 EST"
If you don't want the time zone info:,
strftime(vec1,usetz=FALSE)[1:2]
#[1] "2009-01-01 00:00:00" "2009-01-01 12:00:00"
Also, you can change the time zone,
Sys.setenv(TZ="GMT")
vec1[1:2]
#[1] "2009-01-01 05:00:00 GMT" "2009-01-01 17:00:00 GMT"
It is not clear what you want.
A.K.
I have a date from which returns
head(mt, 3)
DateW | Date
|tempDeg
2 2009-01-01 01:00:00 | 2009-01-01 01:00:00 |
-23.6
3 2009-01-01 02:00:00 | 2009-01-01 02:00:00 |
-25.7
4 2009-01-01 03:00:00 | 2009-01-01 03:00:00 |
-26.5
Why does this return a time with MST?
mt[1,2]
[1] "2009-01-01 01:00:00 MST"
