Format of date

[jagg]

Hi,

today is eg 12/19/2002 then the following line

Code: Select all

clock format [clock seconds] -format "%b %d"

will post Dec 19

so far so good....

But how must the line looks like to get the date from tormorrow (Dec 20) and the day after (Dec 21)?

Thanks

Well if [clock seconds] is today, and knowing that [clock seconds] returns the time in unix format (that being the number of seconds since a certain date), then logically it would follow you would want [clock seconds] + (24 * 60 * 60) [where 24 is hours in a day, 60 is minutes in an hour, and 2nd 60 is the seconds in a minute -> which gives the number of seconds in a day]..

So to find the date x amount of days after today you would use the formula... [clock seconds] + ($x * 24 * 60 * 60) ...

It's just simple math.


I've given you the pseudo code, I'll let you figure out the actual code, which isn't much to change.

Ok, test it with

Code: Select all

proc pub:test {nick host hand chan arg} {

set tomorrow [clock scan "tomorrow"]
set dayaftertomorrow [expr $tomorrow + (24 * 60 * 60)]

putserv "PRIVMSG $chan : Tomorrow: [clock format $tomorrow -format "%b %d"] "
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan : The day after: [clock format $dayaftertomorrow -format "%b %d"] "
}

...and it works
