Hi Dennis, I believe that it may be as simple as:
> format(Sys.time(), "%z") [1] "-0400" Where "%z" returns the offset from UTC as a character vector, and where I am in: > Sys.timezone() [1] "America/New_York" There may be some subtleties, and I would suggest reading the relevant help files for ?strptime and the above two functions.

For example, during standard time in the US, the offset from GMT is 8 hours in California.
