Hi all, in R I have Sys.timezone() function to get the current working
Time zone. However I want to have a vector to get the list of all
available time zones, like say, LETTERS gives me all letters. Is there
any function like that?
No, because the timezones are not 'in R': they are in your OS (as
?Sys.timezone stresses). Many OSes do not even has a function to give
you their name for the current timezone, let alone all others. Note
too that an OS often has many names for a single time zone.
Despite the posting guide, you have given us no details of your
system. On Windows, the help page says
A file listing most known time zones can be found at
R_HOME/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab.
