12 hr > 24 hr clock

Hi all

I have a weather script that pulls data from a site to post.
It displays the time in 12 format - just wondering if there's a way to convert that to display in 24 hour format?

eg 2:35pm becomes 14:35

Thanks in advance!

Try this maybe...

Code: Select all

set time24 [clock format [clock scan "2:35 pm" -format "%I:%M %p"] -format "%H:%M"]

Great - thanks for the reply SpiKe^^.

Do you know if there's a way with that code to turn any 12hr time format into 24hr? Maybe with wildcards?

Cheers again.

Lol, That time string "2:35 pm" could be the variable holding that time value you need converted:)

Code: Select all

set sometime "2:35 pm"
set time24 [clock format [clock scan $sometime -format "%I:%M %p"] -format "%H:%M"]

The exact way you might fit that into someone's script would be a little different for every script.
