Hello
I have to convert character strings into POSIXt format. And would like to
combine two of them. The following code does not what I expect. The single
conversions of the character strings, gives a the date and time with time zone
"GMT" as I expect. However if I combine two date time with c() the time zone is
changed to CET.
> strptime(paste("01.01.2013", "20:00:00"),format="%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S", tz="GMT")
[1] "2013-01-01 20:00:00 GMT"
> strptime(paste("02.01.2013", "01:00:00"),format="%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S", tz="GMT")
[1] "2013-01-02 01:00:00 GMT"
> c(strptime(paste("01.01.2013", "20:00:00"),format="%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S",
> tz="GMT"),
+ strptime(paste("02.01.2013", "01:00:00"),format="%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S",
tz="GMT"))
[1] "2013-01-01 21:00:00 CET" "2013-01-02 02:00:00 CET"
Is that a bug? How can I solve this problem? I really need the time in the time
zone "GMT" else I run into troubles when the time changes to summer time.
Thanks for any help.
Kind regards
